[VOTE] uimaj-sdk 3.0.0 rc2 (alpha)

[Marshall Schor <ms...@schor.com>]

Hi,

Here's RC2.  The changes were to change the version of the maven bundle plugin
to be (by default) 2.3.7, and (by exception where needed) 3.0.1.

Also, changed the version from 3.0.0-alpha to 3.0.0 because of issues with
mixing Eclipse version conventions and maven version conventions, and issues in
Maven with having 4 numbers/names in the version.

-----------

If you happen to use JCas in your pipelines, and have JCas classes other than
the standard built-in ones, these classes will need to be regenerated or
migrated.  If you use the Maven JCasGen plugin to generate the JCas classes as
part of your project's build, your good - nothing special need be done.

There is a migration tool, and there are scripts to run it, as well as Eclipse
launch configurations to run it.  The instructions for running this are in a new
documentation "book", part of the binary distribution (html and pdf) - it's
called the Uima V3 User's Guide.

The guide also has an overview section which lists the new features of this
release.  Many of these need more test cases written for them; I'm happy to
mentor any volunteers who want to improve the testing  .

JCasGen forgot to add the 3 new built-in types to the built-in type table. 
Resulting in wrong import statement.
