OK,

I have removed the xref from both the bin and src archives. I have removed
the
javadoc from the src archives. I have also described the additional licenses
in the LICENSE and NOTICE files.

The MANIFEST.MF file will stay in the SVN until the assembly plugin could
accept manifestEntries (hopefully beta-3). For all the artifacts I produce
the
Manifest file with maven.

I have no idea where the KEYS file is, and when I find it I will place my
key there.

If the archives seem OK, I will cast a vote on them.

How do you find them?
