General preparations before any publishing:
1 - Download Maven Ant Tasks (version 2.1.0 is known to work) and place it in
    this directory
2 - Generate a standard Tomcat release (ant release)
3 - Copy mvn.properties.default to mvn.properties and adjust it as necessary.
    You will need to set asf.ldap.username and you'll probably need to set
    gpg.exec
    The other properties should be OK. Note: you will be prompted for your
    GPG pass-phrase and LDAP password when the script runs.

To publish a snapshot do the following:
1 - ant -f mvn-pub.xml deploy-snapshot
    This populates
    https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/tomcat/

To release do the following:
1 - ant -f mvn-pub.xml deploy-release
    that step creates a staging area in
    https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories
2 - check the upload and then close the repository
3 - include the repository in the VOTE thread
4 - in https://repository.apache.org/index.html#stagingRepositories release it
