I haven't performed any sort of test, not even tried to build JMeter.

* hashes and sigs are fine

* source tarball and svn tag differ in some ways, some minor like no
checkstyle.xml in the source archive but at least one that might be
significant:

For me this is not big enough to cast a negative vote, this really
depends on how closely the JMeter devs want the tag and the released
code to match.

* in addition the source distribution is missing the docs subdirectory.
Is this intentional?

* RAT only flags some testfiles, which is good enough for me

* NOTICE should contain 2011 rather than 2010

* ApacheJMeter.jar should probably not contain the tird party notice and
licenses but only the ASF ones as the files inside the jar only apply
to the jar and not the binary distribution. No biggy for me.

Not a +1, yet.
