Namely gora-0.4-source-release.zip [0], gora-0.4-src.tar.gz [1], gora-0.4-src.zip [2] and individual module -javadoc.jar, -sources.jar, src.tar.gz, src.zip, tests.jar, .jar and finally .pom (along with corresponding signatures for each file.) The difference between [0] [1] and [2] is trivial but important to note none-the-less. [0] is an aggregation of the sources for all modules bundled into an aggregate .zip project. Effectively this is what is a bundle of all sources included in the .sources.jar Maven artifacts for each module. Such artifacts allows us to link and assimilate project sources against code in order to see 3rd party/dependency source within Eclipse or another IDE. This can be done by linking the sources.jar to the given artifact in the 'project build' -- > 'sources' tab of Eclipse. To be openly honest with you Henry we most likely don't need to publish this artifact so maybe we can remove it in future builds. Both [1] and [2] are the actual release artifacts which we refer to (along with their relevant signatures) on our Downloads page. We publish these on Maven central for convenience. These are the only two artifacts that we actually host on the Apache Distribution server and mirror to 3rd party Mirror Servers. For other who wish to review the candidate, here is a really helpful link to incubator guidelines http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html#check-list Thanks, I hope that this has cleared up a bit of the release artifact puzzle ;) Lewis [0] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegora-1000/org/apache/gora/gora/0.4/gora-0.4-source-release.zip [1] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegora-1000/org/apache/gora/gora/0.4/gora-0.4-src.tar.gz [2] https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapachegora-1000/org/apache/gora/gora/0.4/gora-0.4-src.zip
