[cross-project-issues-dev] Ready for Mars.2 ?

["David M Williams" <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am sure everyone knows that "now"
is the deadline for RC2 submissions so I am not asking for anymore changes
"now", but I recently took a look at the 'input' and 'repository
reports' and will highlight a few findings. 

- Everyone is enabled! That's good.
- Every contribution file has changed
since Mars.1. Also good. (i.e. no projects are just sleeping and forgot
to update :) 

But looking at the repo reports, at

https://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel/job/simrel.mars.runaggregator.BUILD__CLEAN/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/aggregation/final/buildInfo/reporeports/index.html

I see a few issues that need to be addressed
before the release (if they have not been already): 

- A number of bundles are missing "legal
files" 

https://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel/job/simrel.mars.runaggregator.BUILD__CLEAN/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/aggregation/final/buildInfo/reporeports/reports/layoutCheck.txt

- Even a feature! (which seems rare,
for us, to be missing completely)

https://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel/job/simrel.mars.runaggregator.BUILD__CLEAN/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/aggregation/final/buildInfo/reporeports/reports/licenseConsistency.html
[note the %license printed for o.e.bpmn2.modeler.runtime.jboss?]

And ... worst of all, IMHO, some "old"
third party jars are still being used, which implies to me someone is not
using the latest version of Orbit (R20151221205849). 

https://hudson.eclipse.org/simrel/job/simrel.mars.runaggregator.BUILD__CLEAN/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/aggregation/final/buildInfo/reporeports/reports/nonUniqueVersions.txt

Notice that someone is using org.apache.commons.collections
 version 3.2.0. But it is not even in Orbit -- any longer -- because
it had a security issue fixed in version 3.2.2. PLEASE update for RC3!

There are certainly other "problems"
in the reports, but those above, to me, are the worst. 

But, overall, things are looking pretty
good! Thanks,
