The following steps describe how to release the dbUnit Maven Plugin. While the Maven release plugin automates steps such as version change, commit, and deploy, the dbUnit Maven Plugin has manual file information update steps that are outside of its scope.
While the below steps do not use the Maven release plugin, you can use it by performing the manual file edits first then running the release plugin steps.
mvnw clean mvnw deploy -Prelease
mvnw site
ssh -t sf-username,dbunit@shell.sourceforge.net create mvnw site:deploy
mvnw changes:announcement-generate -Dchanges.version=theNewVersion
