yarn add -D @auto-it/maven
```

## Usage

  "plugins": ["maven"]
}

## Maven Project Configuration

Your project must be using the maven release plugin. Make sure the the latest `maven-release-plugin` is in your `pom.xml`.

```xml
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-release-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.3</version>
  <configuration>
    <preparationGoals>initialize</preparationGoals>
    <goals>deploy</goals>
  </configuration>
</plugin
```

You will also need all of the following configuration blocks for all parts of `auto` to function:
