A release candidate for uima-as is now available

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

on people.a.o/~schor/uima-release-candidates/uima-as/01.

The rat reports look good. 

Please help test this - see the test plan :-) on the wiki 
http://cwiki.apache.org/UIMA/testplanas222.html

Note that this test plan was kind of thrown together by yours truly, and 
could (I'm sure) be improved - so feel free to fix/change it.

Thanks!  :-)

No particular reason.  My unzip procedure is to double-click the zip 
file, at which point pkunzip springs into action and creates a dir with 
the same name as the archive, without the ".zip" suffix, and then unzips 
into that.  So the unzipped thing has a unique place.  Perhaps other 
unzippers work differently.

Would this happen in practice, without the user explicitly directing the 
unzipper to unzip to the same folder?

No, the uima-as binary package is intended to be sufficient to run.  It 
includes the jars from the core apache-uima package.

I did some release testing, details below:

1) extract code from SVN tag -> build works fine

2) using the src distribution package to build -> build works fine

3) Checking the source and binary release:
   - Both packages (src and bin) have the same root folder (apache-uima-as). Why?
     I think user don't want to mix up both releases within the same directory.

   - What is the story for the uima-as binary package?
     Do I still need the core apache-uima package?
