This build keeps the uimacpp and sandbox components from the previous release candidate (the download site on people.apache.org/~schor has hard links to the previous artifacts - so they are guaranteed to be identical).
We've had a few sanity checks for the RC9 build, including installing the Eclipse plugins via the RC9 update site on both linux and windows, and running downloading & installing the base uima and uima-as binary components and running the installation verification tests - and everything looks good. This build consists of 4 major components: the core UIMA framework (uimaj), the C++ enablement (uimacpp), the Asynchronous Scaleout component (uima-as) and a set of annotators and other add-ons (sandbox). These have been through more than 3 months of validation and testing (counting the previous release candidates). The build process was strengthened to include running RAT (the Release Audit tool) automatically and verifying no RAT issues are found (except for the uimacpp part, where it is still run and verified manually). The release artifacts are available on http://people.apache.org/~schor/uima-release-candidates/2.3.0-RC9/ These artifacts include a partial version of the Eclipse Update Site for the Eclipse plugins, but is complete for the 2.3.0 release. The release is digitally signed by Marshall Schor for all the components except for the C++ component, which is signed by Edward Epstein. No new export control issues are needed for the components; only the uima-as component continues to be classified as 5D002 because it includes Apache ActiveMQ which is so classified (see http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ ) Please vote on approving this release. This vote is for all 4 components, together. After the UIMA committers vote, we will ask the IPMC to vote.
