Source-release and svn tag compare OK Signature ok on source-release and zip / tar of bin. checksum ok on tar.gz
Build from sources - lots of javadoc warnings (expected) - OK Install into 4.3.1 Eclipse - OK Jira: issues-fixed: ok, check for unresolved issues declared fixed in 242: OK. ------------ LICENSE / NOTICE: I note some minor issues, but in my opinion, these are not "blockers" to releasing. I noticed that UIMA-SDK (and maybe other projects) also has these issues, and opened Jira https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3427 for that. There are 2 issues: The notice file has (often) wrong end dates for the basic copyright notice by the ASF. Generated notice files (stuck into Jars) have these computed, so no issue there. For the others, it's best to just remove the the end date, following the suggestion here http://apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#notice The 2nd issue is that many of the NOTICE files include things not required by the license. The NOTICE file is supposed to be minimal, and only have legally required things specified by the license, not already contained in the license. See http://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#mod-notice (paragraphs 3 & 4). Per this guidance, we should remove things in our notice file like: "This product includes software, Apache ActiveMQ, developed at the Apache Software Foundation (http://www.apache.org/).", and edit out the non-required parts of the XMLBeans attribution The BSD license (used for the SVGICONS) has no "Notice" requirement, so that should be removed from NOTICES. The License line for SVGIcons, I think should include a link to the main page on sourceforge, to remove ambiguity of what's being referenced by the term "svg icons". ---------------- Quick Start: OK. Based on this testing, I vote: [X] +1 Approve the release -Marshall
