release
The command queries or modifies release information metadata for the current work area and performs the sequence of steps required to release. For more details about what a release is, and what those steps are, see the "Release" section.
To query the current release information, execute:
release info
To start a release sequence, use:
release major|minor|patch|snapshot|<custom-release-string>
For more details on what a release sequence does, see the "[[Nova_Ordis_Release_Tools_User_Manual_-_Concepts#The_Release_Sequence|Release Sequence" section.
build
The command creates releasable artifacts (binary distributions or libraries, depending on the nature of the project) for the current version. If the build process is successful, the artifacts are stored in the build area ("target" directory, for Maven) of the current work area.
