Thanks for the explanations. I've simply copied the sandbox to the main UIMA directory and it is working fine.
I've updated from SVN and when trying to build SandboxDistr from my initial directory (i.e outside the UIMA one) I am now getting : */usr/local/bin/uima-sandbox-svn/SandboxDocs/sandbox_build.xml:35: Cannot find /usr/local/bin/uima-sandbox-svn/PearPackagingAntTask/../uima-docbook-tool/build/build-docbook.xml imported from /usr/local/bin/uima-sandbox-svn/SandboxDocs/sandbox_build.xml* but at least it is not complaining about the readme not being found anymore. If we really have to have the sandbox inside the UIMA dir, maybe we could add a few lines on the website in the Sandbox section about it?
