+1 Fantastic job Andy!! Checked basic signatures, hashes, BUILD/LICENSE/NOTICE files, maven install from sources and test of random jena code using the results of maven install. All fine as far as I can see Trivial nits that don't affect release: # Release message: s/jena-code/jena-core/ Possible also s/jena-zip/apache-jena/ to match the artefact name. # BUILD files for all projects These reference in various places to: jena-zzz-VER-incubator* whereas the candidate release artefacts are all called: jena-zzz-VER-incubating* # jena-core README.txt Refers to doc/readme.html which does not exist any more. # jena-core ReleaseNotes.txt Top entry is for "Jena 2.6.5" shouldn't that be 2.7.0? (It's right in apache-jena/ReleaseNotes-Jena.txt). # jena-arq pom.xml The maven-resources-plugin is declared twice which causes Maven (3.0.3) to complain: """ Some problems were encountered while building the effective model for org.apache.jena:jena-arq:jar:2.9.0-incubating [WARNING] 'build.plugins.plugin.(groupId:artifactId)' must be unique but found duplicate declaration of plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin @ line 200, column 15 [WARNING] """ # jena-arq README.txt For setting up the command line arguments the README talks about setting JENAROOT. If I try that the scripts complain that they were expecting ARQROOT. Might be worth explicitly mentioning in here that when working from an ARQ source release and wanting to set up command line use then you also need to do: mvn -DoutputDirectory=lib dependency:copy-dependencies # apache-jena-sources DEPENDENCIES Looks odd in having several duplicate entries (three references to each of jena-core and jena-arq for example) and having xerces as being from an unknown organization. # apache-jena-sources BUILD s/alternativbely, yo/alternatively, you/ Dave
