Henning,

I'm holding off with my vote for the moment-- I've some minor concerns
on the docs.  Am I allowed to make the changes or since we are in the
middle of a vote is it too late?

I'm worried about making sure existing users of 1.4 have a seamless
upgrade experience.  I drafted some text in the Wiki, but I think it's
mostly superseded now.  But we should add to the README.txt file
something like:

This release is a drop-in replacement for earlier versions of
Velocity. No changes to your application should be required other than
changes to the dependent jar files.  Specific changes to the jar files
include:
* JDOM has been upgraded to 1.0
* Commons Collection has been upgraded to 3.1
* Commons Lang 2.1 has been added

In addition,
* Ant 1.6  or greater is required for building.
* Java CC 3.2 or greater is now required for compiling parser files.
* HSQLDB 1.7.1 is required for running unit tests.

I worry about this, because when I tried last Fall to upgrade an app
of mine to Velocity 1.5-beta, the commons collection upgrade was
really a hassle.  (due to a conflicting conflict with Torque 3.0 which
requires an earlier version).  We need to highlight this change.

A minor issue:  xdocs/docs/jar-dependencies.xml is inconsistent with
xdocs/docs/build.xml.  Specifically the list of dependencies is
missing antlr and junit.

best,
WILL
