The way we use Maven has been realigned to conform with more
conventional ways of using Maven and best practices. This includes
using the common Apache Release parent POM, the maven release plugin, a
maven plugin for running the docbook processing, and many other
improvements.
The top parent pom for uima projects is already released (at version
2). This release is for the remaining build tools and parent poms, and
is at version 1.

update parent-pom-top references to version 2
The release is staged here:
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheuima-010/
Suggested way to test: add this to your maven "settings" in the
<profiles> section:
<profile>
<id>staged-release</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>staged-release</id>
<url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheuima-010/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
Please verify this by changing references to 1-SNAPSHOT versions of the
build artifacts (except the parent-pom-top which is at version 2, and
uima-docbook-olink project, which is not being released) to version 1
(without the SNAPSHOT), and see if things build, using the command
mvn install -Pstaged-release
More background on this approach is here:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/development/guide-testing-releases.html
Also, please inspect the release artifacts to insure they have the
proper license /notice files.
