Hi,

I'm not part of your PMC, and there may be a reason(s) for this that I'm unaware of, but I noticed a couple of unusual things in your release:
1. The LICENSE includes the Eclipse Public License. The EPL license is Category B and in general you can't include anything that licensed Category B in a source release. [1]
2. The source release includes compiled class files [2], and jar files [3][4][5]. Compiled code shouldn't be included in a source release. The gradle jar has been discussed many times and it can't be include in a source release.

It would be great if you could take at look at these issues.

Kind Regards,
Justin
