Hashes, sigs, N&L look OK.

The source archives don't have the -src suffix on the directory.
Not sure if that is intentional or not - but anyway not a problem for
the release.

Source builds and tests OK using M2 and Java 1.5.0.

Main builds and tests OK using M2 and Java 1.4.2.

It's not possible to build/test on Java 1.3 as there is no Ant or M1
build script.

I used "mvn ant:ant" to create a build.xml file.
That fails with out of memory on Java 1.4.2; turns out that this is
because the generated Ant script tries to include the whole of the
maven repository in the classpath...
The generated script also ignores the test definition in the pom and
generates its own file names to include.

Having fixed those errors, ant test works fine on Java 1.4.2. Also
works on Java 1.3.1 with Ant 1.6.5; however the junit <formatter
type="xml"/> has to be commented out.

This is not a release blocker, but I think future releases should
include a means to actually build and test on Java 1.3, i.e. either an
M1 build or Ant script for main. [Note the one I created relies on
having junit in the Ant lib directory, which may not be the case.]

The Manifest files could have a bit more detail in them, but the
essentials are covered.

The DOAP file is a bit out of date.

Overall:

+1
