Can anyone help me build our first binary and source distributions? I think its fairly clear what we want in each distribution.
Binary: .jar of the core classes. javadocs license info etc. Source: source of all of the classes (including unit tests, example code, etc.) javadocs license info etc. I need help with two things: First, there's a number of details mentioned in http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html that I don't understand. For example, "Check that LICENSE and NOTICE documents contain required sections." I'm also unclear on how signing should work. Secondly, how exactly do we go about releasing these builds? ie. do we build locally and upload? To what server & where? Or are release builds generated by an automated build system? Thanks, Charles.
