OK,

sorry for bringing this so long but this is my first time
I am making a release and as you see I am not so confident.

I have uploaded the new archives here:

http://people.apache.org/dist/jakarta/cactus/1.8.0/

with the following changes:
0) Now everything is built with JDK 1.4
1) The L&N files are included.
2) The MANIFEST.MF is proper (according to me).
3) I have removed the duplicate maven-release-plugin
declaration, which used to bring the line:
<tagBase>file:////home/peter/tags/</tagBase>

I have made the archives from the trunk.
I have no RC tag.

If the archives are OK, I will cast a vote upon them
and if the vote succeeds I will copy the trunk in a tag.

The only issue I see now is that we have the DEPENDENCIES file
in the META-INF, but since it is not a blocking issue I will leave as it
is. (Actually I couldn't find anywhere in the web how to remove this file).


Please can you have a look over the artifacts and in case there are any
problems,
I will be glad to work on fixing them.

Thanks a lot.

P.S I have the following in my ~/.subversion/config file:

*.java = svn:eol-style=native

but I don't seem to set the eol-style correctly. Can you tell me where am I
wrong?

Also I have added the RAT plugin in the master pom so that we can execute
the rat
plugin. I exclude the scratchpad/, descriptors/ and ANNOUNCEMENT.txt and I
don't
see any other file with a missing header....
