IIRC good reasons were put forward a while ago for starting to

these should contain LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt. a META-INF directory
sounds like a good place to store them.
but should these jar's contain a MANIFEST?
opinions, please
This is a good thing to do. I've created source jars for my own use,
much like the src-ide you describe.
I use IDEA and it is satisfied with only the src. From that it derives
the JavaDocs automagically. Don't know about other IDE:s but IDEA
handles jar files quite nicely - no need for zip files.
Depending on how the files will be named, it might be of interest to
have a MANIFEST. Would the files contain version number? The MANIFEST
should contain the correct specification and implementation version for
the component.
