[VOTE] Release Apache NetBeans HTML/Java API version 1.5

[Jaroslav Tulach]

Hi guys,
I've set a Jenkins job up which can prepare a release bits of HTML/Java API
and gives instructions how to build the ZIP file and test it:

https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-html4j-release/

after a bit of configuration struggling the [build #16](https://
builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-html4j-
release/16/) seems to deliver releasable ZIP file:

https://builds.apache.org/view/Incubator%20Projects/job/incubator-netbeans-html4j-release/16/artifact/incubating-netbeans-html4j-1.5.zip

It's md5sum is a45bda33200c208d0d837b0746a7dcce.

I've done the basic testing on Linux, as well as I tried to use the version
1.5 in Bck2Brwsr VM (works fine) and TeaVM which needed a [bit of patching]
(https://github.com/konsoletyper/teavm/pull/304). In any case the HTML/Java
API seems releasable from my point of view.

This is the first attempt to perform Apache release of NetBeans HTML/Java API.
As such there are almost no new features. Mostly just licensing changes,
bugfixes and other little tweaks. See Javadoc section about post 1.4 release
improvements:

https://builds.apache.org/job/incubator-netbeans-html4j-linux/javadoc/

Please take the ZIP file for a spin and vote to approve the release
and to request the approval of the Incubator PMC to publish it on
our site.

Everyone is encouraged to vote, including non-committers.

This vote shall close in the usual 72 hours.

PS: I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping things go well.
