Pour gérer les releases Maven avec du Continuous Delivery, l'article propose de préparer la release à chaque build mais de pusher les tags uniquement si la pipeline de test est OK:

1. Do a local checkout in a detached head
2. Use the Maven release plugin to prepare a release with pushChanges=false (we are not going to push the release commits back to master) and preparationGoals=initialize (we don't care if the tag is bad as we will only push tags that are good)
3. Run your stages release through your test pipeline
4. When you are ready to push to production (or if you prefer when ready to push to testing) you push the tag and release the staging repository
