Hi,

Here are my observations on this RC.

1) The source builds successfully from a clean maven repo
        - Notice, Disclaimer and License files missing from source 'rdb' module.
2) Trying the samples
        a) I see that the source has two additional directories 'testing' and
'dbconfig' which are not there in binary distro. Maybe we must make it
clear that this applies only if one is using the source distro.
        b) RDB DAS Sample (companyweb)
                - should we change that title to RDB DAS CompanyWeb Sample.
                - Readme
                        - the section "Running from Tomcat configured by the 
build" has
information that cannot be related to with the binary distro.  There
is a mention of 'testing' module within samples and also the paths
seem to be related to the svn structure.
(java/das/samples/testing/tomcat/readme.htm)
                        - the section "Deploying the CompanyWeb WAR into a 
Tomcat you
configure yourself" talks about a 'sample distribution' - and I don't
think we have one. Do we ?
                                - furtheron there is mention about copying 
derby.jar but
I see it in the war as well.
                        - and then in "Install the canned Derby database to 
Tomcat", i
really cannot figure out where datatest directory is.
                        - I really think this readme needs a overhaul or I am 
grossly
missing something.
        c) RDB DAS Customer Sample runs clean as mentioned in the readme
                - Section "Running from Tomcat configured by the build" may 
need to
mention that it applies only to src distro
                - there is a mention of 'sample distribution' which we don't 
have
                - about copying derby.jar to tomcat lib I guess its common/lib 
for
tomcat 5.x and just 'lib' for tomcat 6.x
                - I was able to deploy to the war to tomcat, I copied over the
derby-10.1.2.1.jar that I found in the war to the lib directory and
was able to run the sample successfully.  I tried the adhoc queries
and they seemed to work fine for me.

3) License and Notice : I find licenses are in place.  In the notice
there is mention of using software developed by OSOA.  Did not quite
find anything from osoa.

So, overall its about the READMEs for the samples that need some
fixing.  Even there the customer and ajax samples can be worked out
with the current READMEs - with the Ajax sample really give a feel
that DAS works.  So I really cannot see a blocker with this.

Here is my +1.

Thanks.
