Hi all, thanks for putting it together. Run my checks on the following dev system:
Apache Maven 3.9.14 (996c630dbc656c76214ce58821dcc58be960875b) Maven home: /home/tmpl/.sdkman/candidates/maven/current Java version: 21.0.6, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /home/tmpl/.sdkman/candidates/java/21.0.6-tem Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux", version: "6.17.0-14-generic", arch: "amd64", family: "unix" --- 1. Build from source with tests 2. Checked the signatures and hashes using https://gist.github.com/rzo1/9573dd66f401eb0b2af72153bd49bb2a 3. Consumed the staging maven artifacts (model resolver, lang detect, sentence) in one of my projects - worked fine. --- Notes: - The "opennlp-uima-descriptors" in /docs seem a bit off. Don't know if they should be in that directory. - Generated PDF is a weird split in its title "Apache OpenNLP De- veloper Documentation" - we might want to fix that in the next iteration. - If the OPENNLP_HOME in the Shell Script contains a special char like "apache-opennlp-3.0:(2).0-M2-bin" as folder name, this will break current shell code regarding classpath resolution. We might want to make that more robust against weird user installation directories. I vote: +1 (binding) Gruß Richard On 2026/03/24 07:09:34 Martin Wiesner wrote: > Hi all, > > I have posted a first release candidate for the Apache OpenNLP 3.0.0-M2 > release and it is ready for testing. > > The 3.x release line of Apache OpenNLP introduces no known breaking changes > while significantly modularizing the project to improve library usage and > future extensibility. > The core API remains stable and fully compatible with 2.x, so existing > projects can continue using the opennlp-tools artifact without (substantial) > modifications. > > Key Highlights: > • Notable Changes: > • The minimum Java compiler level was raised to 21 (OPENNLP-1735) > • The artifact 'opennlp-models' was renamed to > 'opennlp-model-resolver'.
