Be sure your local copy is up-to-date

git fetch origin --prune
git checkout develop
git pull
git fetch origin --prune

Create a release branch

git flow release start X.X.X.X
git flow release publish X.X.X.X

Now you should be on release/X.X.X.X branch (git status supposed to confirm that). You must push changes to remote repo as the Release plugins will push changes to remote as well (it's already done after publishing release).

Prepare release

Tag the release by using the "release:prepare" goal of Maven:

mvn release:prepare -DautoVersionSubmodules=true -Dusername=yourSvnUsernameyourGitUsername -Dpassword=yourSvnPasswordyourGitPassword

For a dry run, add -DdryRun=true. If you do a dry run, use mvn release:clean to clean up after you have looked at the output.
