I have created a JIRA ticket for some minor build improvements[1]: * Add standard manifest entries to jar * Lock down version numbers for maven compiler, surefire and javadoc plugins * generate sources jar for the release * include the RELEASE-NOTES in the binary distribution * include NOTICE/LICENSE files in the javadoc jar
One issue I found when building from trunk was that Sanselan isn't JDK 1.4 compatible in one class - created a JIRA ticke[2]t for that - leave it up to you how important that is The other thing that seems odd to me are the contents of the info.txt files which the RAT report highlights. To a simple mind like me either the whole of Sanselan is released under the Apache License or there should be something else in the LICENSE/NOTICE files. The contents of these info files makes me wonder about what rights someone would have. Does "I hereby put them in the public domain" mean - for example: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sanselan/trunk/src/test/data/images/bmp/1/info.txt Also looking at the following file looks like it should be in LICENSE/NOTICE http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/sanselan/trunk/src/test/data/images/png_flags/collection_info.txt Niall [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-15 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-16 On Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 3:05 AM, Charles Matthew Chen <charlesmc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Apache Sanselan is a pure-Java image library which supports reading > and writing image data and metadata from a variety of file formats.
