Using Continuum to release .NET projects

  This guide shows how to use Continuum to release NPanday based projects. It is based on the same commands used for
  Maven. For more information on that topic, see {{{../advanced/releasing.html} Releasing .NET Projects with Maven}}.

* Pre-release build definition

  As described in the general releasing guide, NPanday needs to prepare COM and GAC references (if your project has
  them) before a release. To do that, you can add a special build definition for the project module(s) in question.

  Click the <Add> button under the <Build Definitions> tab of the project, and enter the following values:

*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|<<Field>>                         |<<Value>>                                                                 |
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|POM filename                      |<<<pom.xml>>>                                                             |
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Goals                             |<<<org.apache.npanday.plugins:NPanday.Plugin.SysRef.JavaBinding:prepare>>>|
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Arguments                         |<<<--batch-mode --non-recursive>>>                                        |
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Schedule, Build Environment, Type |<default values>                                                          |
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|Description                       |<optional>                                                                |
*----------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  First, make sure that the project has had a successful build with its default build definition (using
  <<<clean install>>>).
  
  Next, execute the new build definition for <<<org.apache.npanday.plugins:NPanday.Plugin.SysRef.JavaBinding:prepare goal>>>
  by clicking the build icon found to the right of the goal.
  
  Once this completes successfully, you can proceed with a release as usual.
