[lang] Release Candidiate 7 available

[Steven Caswell <st...@gmail.com>]

Commons-lang 2.1 RC7 is now available at 
http://www.apache.org/~stevencaswell/commons-lang-2.1/

Fixes include adjustment to
org.apache.commons.lang.time.DateUtilsTest.javato avoid failing tests
under versions prior to
1.4, and adjustments to the build.xml used to build the distribution with 
ant

Test builds under as many JDKs as possible would be appreciated. Any other 
verification of javadocs, distributions, etc. are aslo appreciated. If there 
are no issues found I'll call for a vote.

This looks pretty good to me.

+1 from me on this as a final release.

There are a few minor details which I'll list below. None of them are
worth creating another RC for I believe but if you are creating another
RC for some reason it might be worth looking at them:

The binary distro looks fine to me. Couldn't see any issues.

[source distro]
=========================================
When running "ant dist-build-2.1" with java1.5:
  * all ok
=========================================
When running "ant dist-build-2.1" with java1.2.2:
  * all ok
=========================================
When running "maven" with java1.5:

java:jar:
    [echo] java:jar is deprecated and will be removed. Please use
jar:jar

Otherwise, all ok.

=========================================
When running "maven dist", checkstyle report fails

checkstyle:report:
checkstyle:run:
    [echo] Using file:checkstyle.xml for checkstyle ...

BUILD FAILED
File...... /home/simon/.maven/cache/maven-checkstyle-plugin-2.5/plugin.jelly

--> looks to me like checkstyle.xml should be included in the source
    distribution (or the checkstyle check turned off by default)
=========================================
When running "maven dist", clover test fails.

java:compile:
    [echo] Compiling

--> Have no ideas on this one.
