Hi all,
I ran:
mvn clean install
on my macOS system:
• Apache Maven 3.9.10
• Java 17.0.11 (Eclipse Adoptium)
• OS: macOS 15.5 (aarch64)
The build failed with the following error:
[ERROR] opennlp.tools.chunker.ChunkerMEIT -- Time elapsed: 0.002 s <<< ERROR!
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol:
${opennlp.model.v15.base.url}en-chunker.bin
at java.base/java.net.URL.<init>(URL.java:674)
...
It appears that the placeholder ${opennlp.model.v15.base.url} was not resolved,
leading to a malformed URL during testing (ChunkerMEIT test). This likely needs
further investigation but doesn’t seem to be a blocker for the release itself
(IMHO):
Running the build with:
mvn clean install -Pci
worked fine.
I also verified the signatures and did a quick review of the Maven artifacts —
everything looks good.
+1 (binding)
