Additional information

Enhancement description

We want to enhance the release process of our libraries, in a way that a release can be automatically triggered with a GitHub Action. We could replace the existing "Publish" action with a new "Release" action which would both generate a GitHub release and publish the artifacts to Maven Central. Also, we would like to enhance/beautify the changelog generation for releases, and JReleaser seems like the perfect fit.

Current behaviour

• Default GitHub release changelog generator
• No automatic release process via GitHub actions, releases have to be created manually

Wanted behaviour

• Enhanced GitHub release changelog generator via JReleaser
• Automatic release process via GitHub actions using JReleaser, no need for manual release creation
