[VOTE] Release UIMA-DUCC 1.0.0 RC7

[Jaroslaw Cwiklik <ui...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

the seventh release candidate of the sandbox project Apache UIMA DUCC
v1.0.0 is ready for voting.

Issues fixed in RC7:

1) Fixed NOTICE file in source
2) Improved DuccBook


DUCC stands for Distributed UIMA Cluster Computing. DUCC is a cluster
management system providing tooling, management, and scheduling facilities
to automate the scale-out of applications written to the UIMA framework.
Core UIMA provides a generalized framework for applications that process
unstructured information such as human language, but does not provide a
scale-out mechanism. UIMA-AS provides a scale-out mechanism to distribute
UIMA pipelines over a cluster of computing resources, but does not provide
job or cluster management of the resources. DUCC defines a formal job model
that closely maps to a standard UIMA pipeline. Around this job model DUCC
provides cluster management services to automate the scale-out of UIMA
pipelines over computing clusters.

The Maven artifacts are here:

Hi,

Unless I missed it, it looks like the various creative commons licenses are
missing from the LICENSE file in the binary distribution?

Also, the copy of the CDDL in the license files appears to have code-page issues
(won't display the double quote chars on Linux / Windows system) using various
editors.

Also, the word license is spelled in at least one spot "licence". (which, I
realize, is the UK-English spelling).

The Binary NOTICE file is missing the UIMA (base sdk) Notice.

The README says that the binary distribution examples/descriptors/ - contains
sample descriptor files.  But there is no directory "descriptors" under
"examples" in the binary distribution.

The INSTALL says that when building from source, the result is in
trunk/site/apidocs for the API Javadocs, but it's actually in
trunk/target/site/apidocs

The apidocs have a wrong copyright date - it says Copyright © 2006--2014 The
Apache Software Foundation <http://www.apache.org/>. All rights reserved.
I think 2006 is before DUCC was conceived?  The copyright is visible in the
Overview and in some other views.

The source includes a file in src/main/doc/ducc-completion.txt that appears to
be a set of todo's that haven't been maintained, and were put in probably before
the Jira issue tracking system was being used.    It says for example, tha
Sample Applications should be included, with a last status of "Not Started".   
So, perhaps this file should have a header indicating it isn't being maintained,
and is just for historical reference?
