-1 from me. The fontbox-0.8.0-incubating.jar is missing the LICENSE/NOTICE/DISCLAIMER files. Also the issues found by Jukka and Jeremias are enough to warrant fixing and rolling another release candidate IMO. The ASF primarily distributes source and the fact that the source distro fails to build isn't good. Niall > BR, > > Jukka Zitting >
