Hi, +1 (binding)
Checks & steps: 1.) Verified hashes and PGP signatures: => PASSED 2.) Build successfully from apache-opennlp-3.0.0-M3-src.zip on: Apache Maven 3.9.14 (996c630dbc656c76214ce58821dcc58be960875b) Maven home: /Applications/apache-maven-3 Java version: 25.0.3, vendor: Eclipse Adoptium, runtime: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/temurin-25.0.3.jdk/Contents/Home Default locale: de_DE, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "mac os x", version: "26.4.1", arch: "aarch64", family: "mac" and artifacts were produced as expected. => PASSED 3.) Checked content of RC1’s binary distribution, that is apache-opennlp-3.0.0-M3-bin.tar.gz => PASSED 4.) Checked the shipped docs folder is in good shape and contains the expected artifacts (dev manual HTML + PDF, and Javadoc per module) => PASSED 5.) Did some individual tests w/ the release candidate, primarily in library use case, that is "opennlp-runtime" instead of "opennlp-tools". => PASSED Thanks for getting this out. mawiesne | Martin > Am 28.04.2026 um 14:42 schrieb Jeff Zemerick <[email protected]>: > > +1 to release.
