Tomislav Stojcevich commented on MOJO-234:
------------------------------------------

The copy/unpack would work but  it puts them in a specified directory (unless 
I'm missing something).  This puts them in your local repo which is where the 
eclipse plugin looks for them by default.  It's also keeps them in the same 
location that their main jar is located and mirrors what's in the central repo. 
 The central repo does have plenty of source jars out there and as time goes by 
people will be submitting upload bundles and including the sources since it's 
so easy to do with m2.

I created this because I don't want to use the eclipse plugin because it wipes 
out settings in .project and .classpath files including the javadoc location 
which I make use of on my projects.

Thanks!
