The distro's are starting to look pretty god to me. Some responses in line
below - i think we may have to include license headers in all files and
include the 'incubating' string in jar names.

Please validate the below.. I am going through the RAT stuff.. and will
fix the licenses within the JAR files.. what about concatenating all
licenses into one file.. ? Would you be able to do that..
Ok yes I'll do this.
also I do not
intend to put an ASL license in all resource files (such as sample
synapse.xml configs, xslts etc).. is this really required?
Unfortunately I think it is required in most files yes. The ASF policy is
here: http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html#headers and there's a
further comment right at the bottom of that page. I think I do remember a
review comment on incubator general about if a file is completely trivial
you don't need a header (eg a test file containing just the word "test") but
otherwise the license header should always be included.

Source Dist : synapse-0.90-SNAPSHOT-incubating-src.zip
Unpacks to: synapse-0.90-SNAPSHOT-src\....
Binary dist : synapse-0.90-SNAPSHOT-incubating-bin.zip
Unpacks to: synapse-0.90-SNAPSHOT....

Done

I prefer to leave the "incubating" off JARs and MARs.. cause otherwise
its difficult to set dependencies on these from other projects.. please
advice
I think we only have to include the 'incubating' string if the artifact is
going to be publicly distributed. The src and binary distros are publicly
downloadable so they must include the 'incubating' string, right now the
Synapse jars and mars aren't distributed separately so they probably don't
need it. If we want to put the Synapse jars and mars in a public maven
repository then we do have to include "incubating" in the jar and mar name.
I'd like the Syanpse jars to go into a maven repository so we can use them
in things like Tuscany in which case they would need to include
'incubating'.
(that said, I can't find where this requirement is documented right now,
i'll keep looking but does anyone else know about this?)
synapse-core-0.90-SNAPSHOT.jar
synapse-extensions-0.90-SNAPSHOT.jar
synapse-samples-0.90-SNAPSHOT.jar
synapse-0.90-SNAPSHOT.mar
thanks
