There are two Jiras solved in this release. parent-pom-top: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1884 (add @pre to javadoc known tags) parent-pom-docbook: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1888 (docbook builds missing a file)
These poms have been released to the staging repository, along with 6 other build poms that recursively depend on these poms. The staging repository is here: https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheuima-001/ To enable you to test this, please add this stanza to your settings.xml in the .m2 spot: <profile> <id>staged-release</id> <repositories> <repository> <id>staged-release</id> <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheuima-001/</url> </repository> </repositories> </profile> and then run your maven builds with the extra parameter -Pstaged-release I've updated a couple of the actual 2.3.1 artifacts to depend on these new build tooling versions, in SVN: uima-docbook-overview-and-setup and uimaj-distr. (I have the others ready to update, as soon as the vote passes). To test, besides the normal inspections, you can try: a1) delete from your local .m2 repo ... org/apache/uima/uima-docbook-olink (to force redownloading it) a2) mvn package -Pstaged-release on the uimaj-docbook-overview-and-setup and b1) try running mvn package -Pstaged-release,apache-release on the uimaj-distr project - it should build javadocs without complaining about an unknown @pre tag among its voluminous output. The apache-release profile is needed to get this to invoke the javadoc step that the apache release does. It won't actually do any releases... You'll see lots of javadoc errors - I'm not planning on holding up a release just for these - we can fix these over time... These are in javadocs for "internal" code; our public api javadocs have been cleaned up. Of course, you can manually change any other docbook projects to test them - just update their parent to the next version :-). Thanks for your votes. I think we're getting closer to a real 2.3.1 release. -Marshall Schor
