Endre Stølsvik commented on AMQ-1040:
-------------------------------------
Not clear? I'll try to clear it then: The request is that the *release
distribution package* - the tarball with the class-files-jar - should contain
a *source jar* (the java files that made the class files in the
class-files-jar), specifically for the "extreme convenience" that you mention
in your last paragraph: *To use with IDEs*.
> Full src-jar distributed with binary

> For absolutely all developers (extrapolating from one person, myself), a
> src-jar that comes with the "bin" distribution makes the world a better place
> to live.
> With a src jar, you only add the full jar, "attach" the src-jar, and you're
> _rellay_ good to go both developing but not least stack-tracing and
> debugging. The src-jar should include sources for most of the stuff that
> actually reside in the full jar, if not all.
> Eclipse: if you include the "full jar", it's slightly problematic to include
> a whole bunch of dirs from the src-distro. You'll end up having to include
> all those lib jars, and on each of them put the corresponding src dir.
> The whole thing won't bloat the distro very much - but will relieve very many
> developers from having to download the extra distro, and from the annoyance
> of not being able to just configure one simple jar with src-attachment.
