Please review Tuscany M1 release candidate

Hi!

I have initiated a vote on tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org to publish a 
release of Tuscany. The vote email thread is available there:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.webservices.tuscany.devel/3259

We have read the Apache release guidelines and the incubator release 
policy, but this is the first time that we are doing an incubation 
release so I would appreciate if you could take a look at the 
distributions at 
http://people.apache.org/~jsdelfino/test-incubating-M1/, give us 
feedback and let us know if we need to fix anything.

If the vote on tuscany-dev is successful, we will send a summary of that 
vote to the Incubator's general list to formally request the Incubator 
PMC to approve the release.

Thank you.

Robert,

Thanks for your feedback. I fixed the issues you reported (see JIRA 
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-414) and uploaded the 
updated files to http://people.apache.org/~jsdelfino/test-incubating-M1/.

I also started a new vote on tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org to publish the 
updated distribution. The vote email thread is available there: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-tuscany-dev/200605.mbox/%3c4471F73A.2060800@apache.org%3e.

(non-binding)

a few little nits (nothing serious, more FYI for next time):

1 there are some encoding issues down at the bottom of the LICENSE.txt. they
don't effect the meaning.
2 STATUS seems like it might be a little outdated re:PENDING ISSUES. might
be good to list M1 in the release status
3 MANIFEST files lack a Implementation-Vendor-Id and so are not fully
complient. it's conventional to use 'org.apache'.

one slightly more serious point:

4 the tuscany jar's don't contain NOTICE files. all distributed artifacts
*must* contain these LICENSE and NOTICE files. if these jars don't contain
these files then they cannot be released via the apache jar repository
(which is mirrored to the maven repository on ibiblio). read
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html. it's traditional to include LICENSE
and NOTICE files within META-INF (but that's not mandatory).
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases/prepare.html contains maven 1
snippets.

but overall not bad :-)
