Looks good.

Some very minor nits:

* It would be nice if the source and javadoc manifests had a bit more
detail in them, for example adding the following from the binary
manifest:

Implementation-Title: Commons SCXML
Implementation-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Implementation-Vendor-Id: org.apache
Implementation-Version: 0.8
Specification-Title: Commons SCXML
Specification-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
Specification-Version: 0.8

* There's no need for the .asc.sha1 and .asc.md5 digests.

* Building with M1 gives:
DEPRECATED: the default goal should be specified in the <build>
section of project.xml instead of maven.xml
...
java:jar:
    [echo] java:jar is deprecated and will be removed. Please use jar:jar

* Perhaps the M1 build should be deleted?

* The tests generate rather a lot of INFO output.
