Hi Jochen, as I tried to say in my first sentence, binary artifacts are available. However, as we have 3 subprojects that each produce a jar, they are in a different directory in the repository. E.g. for vxquery-core they are in https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachevxquery-128/org/apache/vxquery/apache-vxquery-core/0.2-incubating/ In this directory we have the binary jar (and the source and javadoc jars) and it contains a LICENSE and NOTICE in the META-INF folder.
