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.

Oliver
