That'd be the suggestion I was going to do, right. In parallel, I'd 
recommend you to start to think about Java 7 support, Java 8 is coming 
soon... but this is just a personal recommendation.

Another issue with your 'custom dependency management' is that does not 
work well when selecting a custom path for the local maven repo on 
building (I use to do it for check releases with a fresh environment).

Anyway, build the release with JDK 6 works fine, including tests. I'd 
include those details in the README, as well of typical memory requirements.

Checking your NOTICE files I noticed your are including there many 
dependencies with MIT and 3-clause BSD licenses, which are unnecessary. 
For all other licenses, either guess or ask. Please, address the issue 
in the following release.

Also, please, remember to keep updated the podling status page: 
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/falcon.html

After all, I my vote is +1 (binding) to release Apache Falcon 
0.4-incubating. But I'll try to closely check all those open issues in 
the next release.

Best,

This is on a dependency for Falcon. Falcon does not have any restriction
for the jdk version.

We will open a jira and follow up on this.

Again, will add this to the release notes and opened
FALCON-292<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-292> to
track this.
