Release 1.6.0 (including test fixtures)

[khatchad]

          @khatchad if I release 1.6.0 you won't have to worry about enabling snapshot dependencies in wala/ML.  Also, for build reproducibility, it'd be best if we could have wala/ML depend on a released version of WALA, not on changing snapshots.  So, if you can wait a few days, I can release WALA 1.6.0 and then you can update wala/ML to rely on that version and (hopefully) not need to build WALA from source anymore.

Version 1.6.0 is now released.

It looks like the test fixtures artifacts are present as well, e.g., you can see them here for wala.core:

https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/ibm/wala/com.ibm.wala.core/1.6.0/

@khatchad can you confirm now that for wala/ML you can pull the 1.6.0 artifacts just from Maven Central and complete the build, so WALA no longer needs to be built from source?

@khatchad: do these links you're posting mean "Yes, it works" or "No, it does not work"?

[khatchad]

Means: "in progress."

[khatchad]

The build passed, so it works!

I'll merge it up and open a PR on github.com/wala/ML. Thanks!

[khatchad]

We can also see from this changeset that the custom WALA build has been removed.

I can't speak for @msridhar, but I don't need minute-by-minute progress reports. If the final answer is "Yes, it works", then that's all I need to know here.

And...apparently it works. Hooray! I hope that this makes life easier for you to keep wala/ML building cleanly. Getting those test-fixtures components released was overdue. Thanks for pushing us to make it happen.

[khatchad]

Thanks for adding the test fixtures, @liblit!

It already is closed, @khatchad.
