Hi,

I wanted try the RC4 in our project. But this gives me headaches:


> To use it in a maven build set the version for opennlp-tools or

> https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheopennlp-1003
>

I don't understand why it is done this way, instead of releasing the RC
under version 1.6.0-RC4.

Consider this scenario - if I add this repository into my pom and use
version 1.6.0, then the local maven repository of every developer on our
project and every repository on our CI machines will get polluted with RC4
artifacts labelled as 1.6.0. When there is a final 1.6.0 release maven will
not re-download them (it considers versions final and immutable unless
labelled as SNAPSHOT). Somebody will have to go and manually delete these.

Would it be possible to re-release with different version?

F.
