Indefinitely postpone development on uimaFIT v2 and further v2 releases

[Richard Eckart de Castilho <re...@apache.org>]

Hi all,

considering the recent security issues in the Spring Library that is used by uimaFIT,
I would like to indefinitely postpone any uimaFIT v2 releases. The version of Spring
that uimaFIT v2 uses is two major versions behind and there are no fixes anymore
for the recent issues. 

So unless somebody steps up with a strong interest in a uimaFIT v2 release and a good
suggestion regarding what to do wrt Spring, there probably won't be further uimaFIT v2
releases.

Please all upgrade to UIMA/uimaFIT v3.

Best,

-- Richard
