Niall, thank you for cutting the RC.
The default.properties file contains:
junit.jar = ${junit.home}/junit-3.8.2.jar
The JUnit 3.8.2 download contains junit.jar, not junit-3.8.2.jar. I have made
the change in SVN.

Phil, you must be talking about the -src file, as opposed to the -bin version.
The -bin zip looks clean, no extra files at the root there.
For the -src zip file:
It is a bit odd to have a RELEASE-NOTES file for each release. I usually see
one file that contains just the information for the current release or the
whole history, one release after another, which is my preference (from newest
to oldest release.)
The RELEASE-NOTES files for older version are in a different format that our
current nice and clean format for 1.4, but I would still rather see all the
history in one file, no matter what the format.
The RELEASE-PLAN file is not up to date since it does not contain an entry for
release 1.4. IMO, it should be removed or updated. As it is now, it does not
have much value.
I do not think we need to deliver LICENSE-header.txt. It is nice to have in SVN
for developers but I am pretty sure the build does not use it, unless mavens
checks to see that each Java source file starts with those bits?
