Re: [VOTE] Release Apache CycloneDX Ant Library 0.1 Based on RC1

+1

I've been reading up on the CycloneDX standards and other relevant 
material. Based on what I have understood so far, this release looks 
good to me. One minor suggestion (not for this release, but maybe future 
ones) is whether we should use "*.bom.json" as the file/artifact names 
instead of the current "*.cyclonedx.json". When I first heard about 
cyclonedx it wasn't clear to me what it was, but BOM on the other hand 
is a bit more known term. Plus, as per 
https://github.com/CycloneDX/specification#recognized-file-patterns , 
"bom.json" is a recognized file pattern for such files. So perhaps we 
should consider that name?

The default base name of the task in fact is "bom". I've chosen the
-cyclonedx suffix as this is what the Apache Commons artifacts (and
others I've checked in Maven Central) use. Most likely Commons does so
as some of the components also publish SPDX SBOMs so just "bom" may not
clear enough.

Apart from "prior art in Maven Central" I haven't got any strong
opinion.
