sorry for letting these legal goo questions drop off my radar. I can help fix problems a bit later today.

I don't have a strong opinion about whether we need to redo the vote to fix the generated NOTICE files. The current ones are definitely wrong and a lot of projects have released artifacts containing similarly wrong NOTICE files.

I'll work on trunk to get the generation up to par and make sure the root svn files look OK....

As David J noted a week or so back, the svn root at tags/ openejb-3.0 needs to contain a LICENSE and NOTICE file. This is mandatory, IMO.

+1.  Thanks, David!

The NOTICE files in generated jar files, being created using the maven-remote-resources-plugin, aren't proper. NOTICE files should only contain legally required attributions, not a transitive list of dependencies. IMO, they should be updated. However, as long as the NOTICE files also contain the required attributions, I would say this is probably a decision for the PMC.

A project decision, definitely. I encourage everyone to update their votes if they feel they need to.

Any thoughts on resolution either for this or future releases?

The generated WAR file in openejb-itests-web did not contain a license/notice file. The notice files for all itests artifacts should be reviewed. I don't have internet access, at the moment, but recall noticing a problem. Will take a look, once I'm connected again...

The maven-remote-resources-plugin seems to like to put the files in wars in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/LICENSE. The only way I've found to get them in META-INF is to include them as hardcoded resources in webapp.

thanks

Thanks!

The file container/openejb-jee/src/main/java/org/apache/openejb/ jee/oejb3/EjbLink.java has an incorrect src license header. I'll fix on trunk...

Great.  Merged that into our branch.


Given the legal tweaks, I think the best course of action is to extend the vote out another 2 days (i.e. ending 72 hours from now). If someone wants to rescind or change their vote, they'll have time.

Thanks, Kevan!

All right. TCK issues were fixed last night. Joe kicked off a run early this morning and everything is running clean. I've also run the itests on standalone and a dozen versions of tomcat and everything looks good there as well. After three weeks or so, it seems we're at the finish line.

If there does turn out to be an issue with this build, I think the best game plan would be to still release this and get a 3.0.1 next week. The 3.0-beta-2 release is good but has a large number of limitations and bugs. We need to get something out to cover it up.

And now... the binaries ....!

Here's my +1

Vote will be open for 72 hours.  Happy voting!
