title: Create release but don't copy the jar file anywhere
body: <p>I would like to create a release tag on git from maven. However, my artifactory is not ready, so I wouldn't want to deploy the release jar anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>I was looking over the <a href="http://maven.apache.org/maven-release/maven-release-plugin/index.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">maven release plugin</a> but the problem is that this seems to fail if I don't set up a location for deployment, according to <a href="https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-releasing.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>: </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If the distributionManagement element is not configured within the pom.xml file then the deployment of the artifact will fail. Maven will report a failure back to the user for the execution of the maven-deploy plugin. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So, is there a way of creating a release tag on git without actually deploying the generated artifact?</p>
