There are two places to care:
- http://code.google.com/p/architecturerules/downloads/list
- http://architecturerules.googlecode.com/svn/maven2/

I found a maven plugin one day before I started this project on 
code.google.com. The
maven plugin was able to upload files to the
code.google.com/p/architectures/downloads/list and set properties. I have 
looked for
it again in the past but have been unable to find it.

Actually r652 (btw this issue was created by this commit, see
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/IssueTracker#Integration_with_version_cont
rol)
introduced http://code.google.com/p/gcupload-maven-plugin/ and new 'Featured
downloads' were uploaded with 'gcupload:gcupload' goal.

Right now uploading snapshot versions not supported (see this note
http://maven.riedelcastro.org/gcupload-maven-plugin/gcupload-mojo.html#allowSnap
shots) and
version for artifact to be uploaded should be manually changed to smth like
'3.0.0-M2' before uploading. But its OK for me right now ;-)

Next steps are:
- integrate gcupload plugin into 'deploy' phase (deploying artifacts to our 
maven2
repository will upload them to 'Featured downloads' too).
- change artifacts' version automagically when uploading to 'Featured 
downloads'.
