Ok, you have just convinced me that it is better to make the next

I haven't got any objections against you arguments, but it's nasty
asking several times whether "we are ready" and now getting blocking
votes again.

I'm sorry I missed the previous votes, but I can easily change my vote
once I understand the issues better.

Done.

The comment says it: It should prevent accidental deploys to the
Apache repositories, which are configured in the parent POM (the
Apache root POM). The idea is that I have to use the -Prc or -Prelease
command line switches for deploying. It wasn't my idea, but I like it.

Ok, that makes sense. An updated comment about what switches are
needed from the command like to override it would work for me.

None, you are right. I have removed it. But the same holds true for
the issueManagement section. Removed as well.

You are referring to the distribution archives, not to the jar files,
are you? They are generated by the assembly plugin and I am unaware of
any possibility to configure that from a parent POM.

Me either, hence the question. If it's not possible, fair enough.

1.) It isn't clear that the point is even considered a bug. Copying
the whole "source
    directory" (which is the base directory) may be considered a
feature by some.
2.) We need to get the fix into the source plugins SVN version. From
my experience,
    that can easily take some months.
3.) We need to have a released version of the source plugin containing
the fix. That will
    easily take some months more.

In other words, I don't believe it's reasonable. Besides, I can't see
what problems you have with the current solution. It does exactly what
it's supposed to: Makes sure that the LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt files
are part of the generated jar files.

If it's not likely to be 'fixed' and soon, I'm happy with what we've
got. I would have preferred the cleaner solution, but it doesn't seem
feasible.


That makes my vote a +0 now you've clarified that for me.
