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). > > Do you mean maven-eclipsepde-plugin-1.1-sources.jar is not buildable? It's > generated by release plugin.

See http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/components/geronimo-txmanager-parent/3.0/ for examples of source "distributions", n > > If you hope to build the source, I'm afraid you need to check out the tag > first. > http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/devtools/maven-plugins/tags/1.1/ 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. --kevan
