- checked for differences between SVN tag and sources ZIP: OK
- build with Java 8 and empty Maven repo: OK
- built uimaFIT v3-branch against beta: OK
- built DKPro Core v3-branch against beta: OK
- RELEASE_NOTES file: OK
- sometimes it is "Beta", sometimes "beta"
- mailing list URL is not a link
- Trying to install plugins into Eclipse (from update site): OK
- However, Eclipse says that the JARs are unsigned! (features + plugins)
- Importing the example project into Eclipse: FAIL
- The project imports ok, but some libraries in the project
have older versions than what is actually provided in the lib folder
- Signature spot check: OK
Well, all in all, it's probably good enough for a beta version
which likely targets existing users rather than new users. But
e.g. the example project should be fixed for the final release.
[X] +1 OK to release
General notes:
- IMHO beta releases should be numbered (-beta-1, -beta-2, etc.)
- The "Overview and Setup" document contains a section on
changes from previous major versions. Would be nice to have
such a section for UIMA 3. There is also a section for
"the migration utility" (from IBM UIMA to Apache UIMA).
This could be updated with info about the new utility
for v2 to v3 migration.
- The V3 users guide looks very useful, but I need more time
to read it properly.
- The getting-started guide still talks about fetching UIMA
from our old incubator website and that the Eclipse plugins
require Java 1.5.
