Maven Twitter Plugin lets you send Twitter status updates from Maven, without writing any Java code. It increases communication between Project owners and Project users by automatically tweeting build and release status via Twitter.

This tutorial shows you how to tag your maven project in a source control system (like CVS, Subversion) and release the versioned “jar” or “war” to a remote repository, and all of this with a single maven command! You can even automate the entire release process by running the command in a cronjob or a Continuous Integration system.
