Verified signatures verify signatures / md5 / sha1 in repository - ruta core -OK. (Got Martin's key from mit pgp server) verify signatures for source-release
The verification says Martin's key is not part of a trust ring - I would recommend cross-signing your key by those physically near you :-) Checked issues fixed - looks ok Did a build from sources - OK compared sources / svn tag - OK I installed the ruta plugins into a fresh 4.3.1 Eclipse - OK. I did this trick: I first "added" the main UIMA eclipse update site (http://www.apache.org/dist/uima/eclipse-update-site), but I didn't install anything. Then I put in the RUTA site, and left the box checked to have install contact all the sites when looking for other artifacts; the install process then contacted the main UIMA site for the plugins it needed - worked like a charm :-) I noticed that some but not all of the internal projects within the examples folder (example-project, extensions-project, TextRulerExample) have their own license/notice - which can be a maintenance issue - for example, these have a 2013 end date in the Notice part. Normally, the License/Notice files are put at the top level of a distribution; I'm not sure why they're here. The NOTICE file in many places has duplicate info for creative commons that's also part of license file. Normally any information that's already in the License file should not be also duplicated in the Notices file. The Notices file is for things which are not part of the license terms, but need to be present (such as copyrights). See https://www.apache.org/dev/licensing-howto.html#simple where it says, in part: However, elements such as the copyright notifications embedded within BSD and MIT licenses need not be duplicated in NOTICE -- it suffices to leave those notices in their original locations. Looks like the build process for the individual project Javadoc jars is including the license /notice files appropriate for jars containing Icons from Mark James, but those Jars don't have those icons. Also the Mark James attribution in both notice and license has an extra "the" in front of Mark James: This product contains icons developed by the Mark James --- should read: This product contains icons developed by Mark James These NOTICE issues are minor, and not release blockers, I think.
