# A release starts with planning.
+
#* Create a [[Project Management Infrastructure/Release Metadata|release record]] at the beginning of the release cycle.
+
#** You can create as many future release records as you'd like.
+
#* Capture the [[Development Resources/Project Plan|project plan]] directly in the release record.
+
#** Alternatively, you can use the older XML-file format if you must.
+
#* The plan doesn't need to be particularly detailed, but it does need to exist.
+
#* The plan should lay out in broad terms what the goals are for the release.
+
#** Set a date. The date can change.
+
#** Provide a concise (i.e. one paragraph, no bullets) description for the release.
+
#** Capture at least one theme for the release (this could be as simple as "Fix bugs")
+
#* The plan can change during the release cycle (please inform your project's community when you change the plan)
+
# Implement functionality
+
#* Ensure that all committers are aware of the Eclipse IP Policy and Eclipse Development Process
+
#* Ensure that intellectual property contributions are being tracked
+
#** See [[Development Resources/Handling Git Contributions|Handling Git/Gerrit contributions]]
+
# Produce milestone
+
#* Generate regular builds of the project and host them on your project's download site
+
# Release
+
#* For all major/minor releases, you must engage in a [[#Release_Review|release review]]
+
#** Release reviews are not required for bug-fix/service releases
+
#* Send a note to [mailto:emo@eclipse.org|EMO] to request a release review
+
#* When the release review has been declared successful by the EMO, generate your final build (or rename a previous RC/M build) and host them on your project's download site
