Not sure what you mean by "release process".

Running "mvn release:prepare release:perform" ;)

But here are the issues
which look like they would block a release:

1. NOTICE files do not conform to current ASF standards

What do you mean exactly ?
They have the same content that the ones I've always seen.
Could you point me to a better template for these ?

Hi Guillaume,

Yes, they've changed slightly... Source files no longer contain a copyright statement. Copyright is now in the notice file. Here's a pointer to the current "standards" -- http://www.apache.org/legal/src- headers.html

Notice files take the following form:

    Apache [PRODUCT_NAME]
    Copyright [yyyy] The Apache Software Foundation

    This product includes software developed at
    The Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).

I don't see any external projects being included in xbean binaries. So, it would seem that's the only content that the NOTICE files would require.

I took a peak at the generated jar files. Looks like license/notice files are missing from at least the following jar file:

xbean-naming

Genesis will automatically check for these during a build. Dain (I think) had a one line command to scan for missing notice/license files, but I can't remember how it went...


2. The following files either do not contain a valid license header
(not all files will require one, but many of these need one) or have
an out-of-date license header (all need to be updated).

Thanks. I'll fix these asap.
You run rat for that, right ?

Yes, but rat doesn't identify old-style license headers. For these, I've found the following grep command to be useful:

grep -RL --include=*.java "Licensed to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)" *
