Gary, thanks for putting together an RC and the thorough description on how to verify releases! (perhaps some got scared.. we don't need everyone to test everything though!)
My vote is: +1 (binding) Checked: [+] checksums vs *.sha512 vs VOTE email vs maven repo [+] git tag vs commit [*] git vs source (whitespace differences; README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md missing) [+] .asc pgp signatures [+] .zip vs .tar.gz [+] mvn clean install [+] built target vs binary (all *jar files built, same filenames content) [+] binary vs maven repo [+] *.class correct Java class data, version 52.0 (Java 1.8) [+] source vs -sources.jar [*] mvn apache-rat:rat (autogenerated Mini.jj missing ASF header) [+] LICENSE, NOTICE [+] RELEASE-NOTES.txt [+] site [+] site reports: japicmp (correctly identifies minor version change) [-] README README is missing from download, so downstream won't easily know how to build it with mvn, but I won't block the release over that; just "mvn" kind of works with the defaultGoal (but needs JAVA_HOME?) mvn site took quite a long time as it downloads the world (and I am on hotel WiFi) Not sure why maven-site-plugin can't invoke javadoc without JAVA_HOME as it's on the PATH [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin:3.8.2:site (default-site) on project bcel: Error generating maven-javadoc-plugin:3.1.1:javadoc report: Unable to find javadoc command: The environment variable JAVA_HOME is not correctly set. -> [Help 1] (base) stain@biggie:/tmp/RC2/6.4.0-RC2/source/1/bcel-6.4.0-src$ javadoc --version javadoc 11.0.4 export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/ fixes the above I however get this error from mvn site, which does not block build: [INFO] Generating "JIRA Report" report --- maven-changes-plugin:2.12.1:jira-report [WARNING] java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.maven.plugin.jira.RestJiraDownloader.processPriority (RestJiraDownloader.java:392) Tested with: (base) stain@biggie:~$ mvn -v Apache Maven 3.6.0 (97c98ec64a1fdfee7767ce5ffb20918da4f719f3; 2018-10-24T11:41:47-07:00) Maven home: /home/stain/software/maven Java version: 11.0.4, vendor: Ubuntu, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 Default locale: en_GB, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "4.15.0-64-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" (base) stain@biggie:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
