Right. That's the sources jar file, I mentioned. The jar file is not a 
replacement for a source distribution file. As you note, it does not contain 
the necessary files (to build).

See 
http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/components/geronimo-txmanager-parent/3.0/
 for examples of source "distributions", n

No. As a release manager, you are preparing a source distribution file. That is 
the artifact(s) that the community is "releasing". Our community expects that 
the contents of this source distribution will match the contents of the svn 
tag. However, the vote should be performed on the source distribution file (not 
svn).

In case there's any question, I'm -1 until this issue is resolved.
