Cutting a release
To cut a release, issue mvn clean release:prepare. Say your project is at version 0.1-SNAPSHOT. Preparing a release will remove the -SNAPSHOT suffix, commit and tag the code on github, then update the project version to 0.2-SNAPSHOT.
If you need to undo the release, revert the changes with git reset hard HEAD~2 and delete the tag with git tag -d redis-launcher-0.1 followed by git push origin :refs/tags/redis-launcher-0.1.
Publishing to Sonatype
If all is well, you can publish the project artifacts to Sonatype by issuing mvn release:perform Log into Sonatype Nexus and find your artifacts under Staging Repositories Close, then release the artifacts. Sonatype have some good instructions on using their web interface. You can automate these steps using the Maven repository management plugin, though I haven't tried it myself. Add a comment to your JIRA ticket to say that you've promoted the release The next time Sonatype synchronises (usually every few hours) your artifacts should be made available on Maven Central.
