Hi,
I don't know the code base either so will only give some technical
comments related to the artifacts:
Maven and ant builds work fine with Java 1.5 and 1.6 on Windows 7.
About the distribution files: Shouldn't the naming be
commons-validator-1.4.0-beta1 rather than validator-1.4.0-beta1? Also
the manifest of the jar in the binary distribution does not contain all
properties typical for commons components. When I build the jar on my
local machine the properties are there. I think we should follow our
standards here.
There are some findbugs errors which I don't consider as blocking.

Hi All
Following last week's discussions, I've rolled a RC for Commons
Validator 1.4 beta 1. The idea of this release is to get some wider
testing of the codebase, owing to the 4.5 year gap since 1.3.1, before
we hopefully release 1.4 in a few weeks time.
(We believe the code is stable and release worthy, but we're being a
little cautious with a beta first simply because of the gap)
The svn tag this was build from is:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/validator/tags/VALIDATOR_1_4_0_BETA1_RC1
The release candidate files are available from:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/
Specifically the release notes:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/RELEASE-NOTES.txt
Source and Binary zips+tarballs:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/dist/
And Maven artifacts:
http://people.apache.org/~nick/Commons-Validator-1.4-beta1/maven/
I've tested with JDK 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6
I haven't generated a new version of the site as the release guide would
suggest, because this is intended to be a short lived beta release. I
would propose to simply update the download page to incude the beta
release too, and then do a full site generation (as per the release
guide) when we're ready for the final 1.4 release
Voting will be open for just over 3 days (or until a blocker is
found...), closing 6am GMT on Saturday 4th June. Please vote:
[ ] +1 Release this as Validator 1.4 beta 1
[ ] 0 I don't object to this release, but I haven't checked it fully
[ ] -1 There's a problem with the release, and that is ....
Thanks
Nick
