Prerequisites to publish
org.apache.netbeans:nb-repository-plugin is the key tool for artifacts preparation.
https://builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/ should contains the release version to be published. Navigate to lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/mavenrepository/ in the target release to check that this repository is populated.
Publishing
Release
(need improvement list findings.)
You need to be a PMC to do this with access to repository.apache.org.
get zip
from jenkins build and extract localy (ie https://builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release123/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ ) repository is generated according to a git tag to match a released version
do sign (it may takes some time as we have an important amount of artefacts)
find . -name '*.nbm' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \; find . -name '*.xml' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \; find . -name '*.pom' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \; find . -name '*.sha1' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \; find . -name '*.md5' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \; find . -name '*.jar' -exec gpg --armor --output {}.asc --detach-sig {} \;
test signing
find . -name '*.asc' -exec gpg --verify {} \;
The release process is using Apache Maven. You need to have a settings.xml configured as follow https://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html

mvn org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.7:rc-list-profiles -DserverId=apache.snapshots.https -DnexusUrl=https://repository.apache.org | grep 'netbeans'
give the stagingprofile id: 20604114d0070e for Apache NetBeans
populate the staging repository
mvn org.sonatype.plugins:nexus-staging-maven-plugin:1.6.7:deploy-staged-repository -DserverId=apache.snapshots.https -DnexusUrl=https://repository.apache.org -DstagingProfileId=20604114d0070e -DrepositoryDirectory=pathofsignedartefacts
