The maven build works fine with JDK 1.5 and 1.6 under Windows 7. Artifacts and site look good.

The clirr report has one error:
"Parameter 1 of 'protected boolean isValidIpAddress(org.apache.oro.text.perl.Perl5Util)' has changed its type to java.lang.String"

I don't know whether this is a big issue or not, but shouldn't there be at least a warning in the release notes?

Minor nits (not blocking):
- There are some findbug errors
- Could it be that the changes report is out of sync with the release notes? The latter mention more issues and improvements.

Hi All

Following the advice from the previous failed vote, I've rolled another
RC for Commons Validator 1.4 beta 1. As per advice, this one was
generated using Maven[1] rather than Ant. Just for a reminder, the idea
of this release is to get some wider testing of the codebase, owing to
the 4.5 year gap since 1.3.1, before we hopefully release 1.4 in a few
weeks time.

(We believe the code is stable and release worthy, but we're being a
little cautious with a beta first simply because of the gap)


The svn tag this was build from is:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/validator/tags/VALIDATOR_1_4_0_BETA1_RC1


The release candidate files are available from:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/

Specifically the release notes:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/RELEASE-NOTES.txt

Source and Binary zips+tarballs:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/dist/
And Maven artifacts:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/maven/

I've tested with JDK 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. The only difference to last time
is the software used to build the release with.

I haven't generated a new version of the site as the release guide would
suggest, because this is intended to be a short lived beta release. I
would propose to simply update the download page to incude the beta
release too, and then do a full site generation (as per the release
guide) when we're ready for the final 1.4 release


Voting will be open for just over 4 days (or until a blocker is
found...), closing 10am GMT on Wednesday 13th July. Please vote:

[ ] +1 Release this as Validator 1.4 beta 1
[ ] 0 I don't object to this release, but I haven't checked it fully
[ ] -1 There's a problem with the release, and that is ....

Thanks
Nick
