+To build a released version as a distributable ZIP file that
+includes third-party dependencies as JAR files,
+build with the `-Prelease` option, which would make
+`taverna-commandline-product/target/apache-taverna-commandline-3.1.0-incubating-release.zip`
+or equivalent.

+See the file `target/maven-shared-archive-resources/META-INF/DEPENDENCIES` for
+details of the licenses of the third-party dependencies. All dependencies should
+be [compatible with Apache License 2.0](http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html).
