Hi, I'm starting the release process; the first step is releasing the parent poms and build helper projects, under the "build" part of SVN. These are being released in the maven repositories only, because they're only used there, to build the real UIMA artifacts. (that is, they won't be pushed to the general apache mirroring system).
The first attempt at releasing an aggregate (multi-project release) failed during release:prepare (worked with dryRun=true, but failed without dryRun=true), because the aggregate pom had a parent-pom = the parent-pom-top, which wasn't yet released. So I'm now working to release just the UIMA parent-pom-top POM. I successfully followed the instructions on http://maven.apache.org/developers/release/apache-release.html and the artifact is now in the staging release area. The staging repo: https://repository.apache.org/index.html#staging;3e133f12a994a (log in with your people.apache.org credentials) Guide to testing staged releases: http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-testing-releases.html The main thing to test here is that this release follows Apache requirements for license and notice, and that it works with the current build artifacts (you'll have to change these to use version 1 of the parent-pom-top to test. Vote open for 72 hours. [ ] +1 [ ] 0 [ ] -1 After this, I'll work on releasing all of the other parts of the build tooling as one multi-module project. Cheers. -Marshall
