Frankly, this is where maven would really help as all these jars would not be included with the Cocoon distribution but be coming from a central repository. It would then be just as easy to put a jar of the source in the repository as the binary jar. This would make the problem just disappear.
Just wondering - who will put sources into the maven repository and who will maintain it for 30 years?
Exactly.
Look, there is only one approach to digital preservation: make tons of copies and put enough metadata and unique identifiers to know what you have in your hands and what is the copy of what else.
Of course, it does not work after a world-wide nuclear holocaust or the end of oil resources that creates permanent world-wide blackouts, but at that point, I think maintaining you cocoon application will not be your biggest concern anyway.
