Hi,
This is the vote for the 1.2.0 release of Apache Royale Compiler Build Tools.  
The release candidate can be found here;
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/royale/compiler-build-tools/1.2.0/rc3/

Before voting please review the section,'What are the ASF requirements on 
approving a release?', at: 
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html#approving-a-release

At a minimum you would be expected to check that:
- SHA and signed packages are correct
- NOTICE and LICENSE files are all fine
- That "mvn clean install" in the root of the source package completes 
successfully
- That you can modify other compiler poms to use that version of 
compiler-build-tools and build the compiler.

The KEYS file is at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/royale/KEYS

Maven artifacts are staged here: 
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheroyale-1064

Please vote to approve this release:
+1 Approve the release
-1 Disapprove the release (please provide specific comments to why)

This vote will be open for 72 hours or until a result can be called.

The vote passes if there is:
- At least 3 +1 votes from the PMC
- More positive votes than negative votes

Remember that this is a 'beta-quality' release so expect there will be many 
bugs found. IMO the goal is not to try to find and fix bugs in the RC, but to 
make sure we have the packaging right, and enough functionality that folks will 
have some success trying to use it.  People who are not in PMC are also 
encouraged to test out the release and vote, although their votes will not be 
binding, they can influence how the PMC votes.

When voting please indicate what OS, IDE, Flash Player version and AIR version 
you tested with.  

For your convenience, there is an ant script that automates the common steps to 
validate a release.  Instead of individually downloading the package and 
signature files, unzipping, etc, you can instead:
1) create an empty folder,
2) download into that folder this file:
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/royale/compiler-build-tools/1.2.0/rc3/ApproveBuildTools.xml
3) run the script:
   ant -e -f ApproveBuildTools.xml -Drelease.version=1.2.0 -Drc=3

You are not required to use this script, and more testing of the packages and 
build results are always encouraged.

Please put all discussion about this release in the DISCUSSION thread not this 
VOTE thread.

Thanks,
Yishay Weiss
