Doesn't the source zip required by an IDE usually need to be baed at the same level as a JAR?
ie org/apache/commons/foo/Foo.java where in -src that is usually under src/... I'm not sure how that would site with an IDE though - perhaps include both those JARs in a single -dev zip. The approach we're taking with Maven is to publish a source JAR (and Javadoc JAR) that accompanies the binary JAR. - Brett Gary Gregory wrote: >+1. > >In my head I think of these pieces: > >commons-xxx-src.zip > All sources needed to produce other pieces. >commons-xxx-bin.zip > Runtime only, no source, no Javadoc, just the *runtime*. >commons-xxx-dev.zip (or ide) > What I need to use the component for my development (source zip >file and runtime). > >Which now that I've written it out matches what you've proposed I see >;-) > >Gary > > > >>-----Original Message----- >>From: Stephen Colebourne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 4:46 PM >>To: Jakarta Commons Developers List >>Subject: [ALL] Distributing an ide version >> >>Currently we make available two versions, src and bin. >> >>The src contains all the source code and xdocs.
