Apologies for my delay...
-1 for the following reasons:
1. There should be a LICENSE and NOTICE file in the https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/tags/eclipse-plugins-1.0.0.alpha/
directory
2. I don't see a source archive for the release. My current
understanding is that this is a requirement for Apache releases.
3. plugin jars have two sets of license/notice files (e.g. LICENSE and
META-INF/LICENSE). The files are different (I believe LICENSE and
NOTICE are correct). License/notice info should only be in META-INF/
LICENSE and META-INF/NOTICE.
4. Current ASF convention is to have minimal NOTICE files. This means
not having comments like:
=
========================================================================
== NOTICE file corresponding to section 4(d) of the Apache License,
==
== Version 2.0, in this case for the Apache OpenEJB distribution.
==
=
========================================================================
or
=
========================================================================
== Swizzle Stream Notice
==
=
========================================================================
Personally, I'm not sure that point 4 is a blocking issue, but there
are some in the ASF that might argue otherwise...

Thanks very much for the feedback so far. I've built a new release
of the
plugin with the update site URL corrected and a couple of license
headers
fixed.
We do have one issue which is the update site is hard coded to
http://people.apache.org/~jgallimore/test3/update-site/ which will
need to
change for the actual release to wherever the actual update site
ends up
being, if anyone knows a solution to this I'd be grateful for the
help,
otherwise we might have to live with this being hardcoded for the time
being.
Anyway, I thought I'd go for a vote, so here goes:
The binaries are available here: http://people.apache.org/~jgallimore/test3/
The update site is here:
http://people.apache.org/~jgallimore/test3/update-site/
The Maven staging repository is here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/openejb-014/
The 1.0.0.alpha branch is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/branches/eclipse-plugins-1.0.0.alpha/
and the tag of this release is here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openejb/tags/eclipse-plugins-1.0.0.alpha/
The vote will be open for at least 72 hours, and probably a bit
longer as
this is a first attempt at a release for the plugin, and we tend to
have
longer votes.
Here's my +1, I've tested the installation and execution on Eclipse
3.3, 3.4
and 3.5 on Ubuntu 9.04.
