--------------------------------------

Re: merging uimaj-distr to top -level pom: I don't see any downside to doing 
this.

Re: merging aggregate-uimaj to uimaj-distr: Downside: without a separate 
aggregate-uimaj, there's no way to run mvn xxx on all of the projects without 
also running it on uimaj-distr.  uimaj-distr, because it builds the binary 
distribution, runs multiple zip/tar packagings, and runs the multi-module 
Javadoc creation, all of which take quite some time.  

I think being able to build the modules without the binary assemblies is the 
only reason to keep these separate.

We could do this another way, though, using "profiles" - we could put these 
things into a profile, and have them enabled by default, and let users who 
didn't want to run the assembly and user Javadocs, type an additional command 
line parameter, something like -Duima.skip.bin.asm

Does this seem better than having another POM as we do now?

>             Project: UIMA
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Build, Packaging and Test
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.1
>            Reporter: Jukka Zitting
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The uimaj 2.3.1 source release package is a bit misleading in that it places 
> a copy of the uimaj/README file in the top level directory even though the 
> advertised "mvn install" build command doesn't work from there.
> Instead of fixing that problem, it would seem like a good idea to actually 
> move the uimaj/pom.xml and uimaj/README files directly to the top level 
> directory in svn.
> As a potential further simplification, it seems to me like it would be 
> possible to merge also the uimaj-distr/* and aggregate-uimaj/pom.xml files to 
> the top level.
