How to use the branch

• Update your working copy of the repository
  • If you have the trunk project imported in Eclipse, change your workspace to a new one (for example "Release")
  • Import as a "Maven project" from branches/release03-pre-alpha-4
  • All your changes from now on will affect only the release branch
  • We should prepare a good sample book.
