Commons BCEL 6.7.0 was released, so I would like to release Apache

I have tested this with:

mvn -V -Prelease -Ptest-deploy -P jacoco -P japicmp clean package site deploy

Using:

Apache Maven 3.9.6 (bc0240f3c744dd6b6ec2920b3cd08dcc295161ae)
Maven home: /usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.9.6/libexec

Details of changes since 6.7.0 are in the release notes:
    
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/6.8.0-RC1/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
    
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/6.8.0-RC1/site/changes-report.html

Site:
    
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/6.8.0-RC1/site/index.html
    (note some *relative* links are broken and the 6.8.0 directories
are not yet created - these will be OK once the site is deployed.)

JApiCmp Report (compared to 6.7.0):
    
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/6.8.0-RC1/site/japicmp.html

    Note that the above report notes one issue:
    MODIFIED (Serializable incompatible(!): field changed from
nontransient to transient) public class
org.apache.bcel.util.ClassVector
    Note that a java.util.List of org.apache.bcel.classfile.JavaClass
is not serializable in the first place because JavaClass is not
serializable.

RAT Report:

Please review the release candidate and vote.
This vote will close no sooner than 72 hours from now.

For following is intended as a helper and refresher for reviewers.

Validating a release candidate
==============================

These guidelines are NOT complete.

Requirements: Git, Java, Maven.

You can validate a release from a release candidate (RC) tag as follows.

1a) Clone and checkout the RC tag

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-bcel.git
--branch commons-bcel-6.8.0-RC1 commons-bcel-6.8.0-RC1
cd commons-bcel-6.8.0-RC1

1b) Download and unpack the source archive from:

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/commons/bcel/6.8.0-RC1/source

2) Check Apache licenses

This step is not required if the site includes a RAT report page which
you then must check.

mvn apache-rat:check

3) Check binary compatibility

Older components still use Apache Clirr:

This step is not required if the site includes a Clirr report page
which you then must check.

mvn clirr:check

Newer components use JApiCmp with the japicmp Maven Profile:

This step is not required if the site includes a JApiCmp report page
which you then must check.

mvn install -DskipTests -P japicmp japicmp:cmp

4) Build the package

mvn -V clean package

You can record the Maven and Java version produced by -V in your VOTE reply.
To gather OS information from a command line:
Windows: ver
Linux: uname -a

5) Build the site for a single module project

Note: Some plugins require the components to be installed instead of packaged.

mvn site
Check the site reports in:
- Windows: target\site\index.html
- Linux: target/site/index.html
