                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1907
             Project: UIMA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Build, Packaging and Test
            Reporter: Marshall Schor
            Assignee: Marshall Schor
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.3.1AS, 2.3.1SDK


The release process currently builds two "source release"s.  One is ours, the 
other is the standard,
maven-built one, which is more-or-less guaranteed to match an svn checkout.

Our source release does some special things:
1) it sets executable bits.  One might argue this is needed only in the /bin 
distr.
2) it copies stuff in uimaj-distr/src/main/readme to the "top level".  Files 
copied include the LICENSE/NOTICE, RELEASE_NOTES, README, and some command 
scripts to manipulate the sources.

The custom src file adds a directory Eclipse, which has an Eclipse "launcher"
that runs the packageAllJavaSourcesIntoJar command.  This might be droppable,
because our releases will now have the java sources for each project "attached"
in the maven sense, so if m2eclipse is being used, the sources should be fetched
automatically when needed.

The custom src file is also missing the DEPENDENCIES file, and is also missing 2
of the 3 aggregate- projects.

Do what is needed to make the standard source-release.zip build serve as the 
source distribution.
