We ended up recutting the binary of the 4.0 release of ActiveMQ to
address a few issues brought up in the Incubator PMC vote; I'd just
like to call another vote to explicitly approve the new binary distro
to avoid confusion (as most Incubator PMC folks voted on the previous
binary).

Can I ask the Incubator PMC to please approve the new binary for the
ActiveMQ 4.0 release.


i'm a little worried by the contents of the META-INF for the
incubator-activemq-4.0.jar:

COPYRIGHT         - IBM copyright claim. does this apply? why is this here
rather than in the NOTICE?
DISCLAIMER.txt    - incubation warning text (good :-)
LICENSE               - Apache License 2.0
LICENSE.txt          - also Apache License 2.0 why two copies?
MANIFEST.MF      - jar MANIFEST
NOTICE                 - NOTICE file pertainning to Apache Darby
NOTICE.txt            - another NOTICE file. why are two required?

seems a little borderline to me. i'd like to hear other opinions or
clarifications before definitively casting a vote.


plus a few suggestions for future releases:

* the MANIFEST lacks a Implementation-Vendor-Id. not reported harmful but is
in the spec. suggested value: org.apache.
* the MANIFEST lacks a Specification-Version but has an
Implementation-Version. suggested value 4.0.
* better if the source extracts into a directory with a different name from
the binary distribution. for example, incubator-activemq-src for the source
and incubator-activemq for the binary (say.
* i would prefer the binaries and distributions names to contain apache. for
example apache-incubator-activemq.
