Ok.  Please check this process.

1) extract into a new workspace: uimaj / branches / uimaj-2.1.0

3) put in the hot fix changes and build the uimaj-ep-configurator 
project (only) and test in the workspace.
    Check in to the SVN under the uimaj-2.1.0 branch

3) "tag" the 2.1.0 branch with the hotfix as uimaj-2.1.0-hotfix-1-RC1

4) sign the zip file (which is the release artifact)

5) add my key to the SVN uima-distr/src/main/readme/KEYS (and publish to 
a public key server).  It won't be "countersigned" by anybody - is that 
OK for now?

6) Post the signed zip and signatures to ~schor for the vote.

7) Ask for the vote on uima-dev

Please let me know if this seems OK or if I need to something else.

Thanks, everyone. -Marshall

Looks good to me.  We'll also need some sort of README with instructions 
on how to apply the hotfix, but you've probably thought of that.  I can 
do the signing etc. if you like.

Testing should be done the same way users will use the hotfix: install 
the binary 2.1.0 distribution, verify that the error occurs.  Install 
the hotfix and verify that it fixes the issue ;-).  It would be good if 
we could all do that before we vote, so we test various configurations.
