Hi, I just want to inform you about the release status. Maybe you have seen the ongoing discussion on the general mailing list about the inclusion of binary dependencies within source release packages. Sine we include the OWLAPI JAR in binary form, this is relevant for our release.
As far as I did understand the arguments it is not possible to include binaries like this. The reason is that we ship open source software and binaries are not source. The used Maven dependencies are not part of the release itself and are only downloaded during the build. The difference is that the user is responsible for these downloads. Once we include a binary in a source release, we are responsible. I have asked on the general list what we should do now in our situation to find out how to handle dependencies that are not available at Maven central. Maybe we have to add a note and require the users to download the OWLAPI JAR themselves prior being able to compile Stanbol. Best, - Fabian -- Fabian http://twitter.com/fctwitt
