Fixed. I also fixed a whole bunch of javadoc warnings. New packages
uploaded.

And they probably won't given there is a reasonably satisfactory answer
to the question.

I always thought one is meant to test that the release src package
builds and generates correct binary artifacts ;-)

See above.

My understanding is that only the source package is what a release vote
is all about. Binary artifacts are merely byproducts. They MUST be built
from the source package, though, but can be (re)published without a
vote.

Anyways, I'll post maven artifacts when the official vote is held to
make everyone happy.
