-The Maven team is pleased to announce the SCM plugin 1.0 release!
-
-http://maven.apache.org/reference/plugins/scm/
-
-The Maven SCM project helps perform automated tasks with your source control
-management software. 
-
-This is the first release of the plugin, with support for CVS.
-
-And in case you are wondering, the release process for the SCM plugin uses the 
-SCM plugin itself. We believe in eating our own dog food because it is 
-delicious! :)
-
-You can download the SCM plugin here:
-http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/maven/plugins/maven-scm-plugin-1.0.jar
-
-Enjoy!
