You are correct, qpid-java-client-0.8.tar.gz does not include the example
source; it is a binary convenience package, but it should probably still
include the example source...though never has. Given that its JMS based we
should probably be adding links to some of the better tutorials that exist
elsewhere too.

There are again no example sources in qpid-java-0.8.tar.gz, although the
.jar form is there which is even less useful. That whole archive is binary
form and really needs to just go away entirely IMO: it's contains plenty of
things it shouldn't, things that can't really be used as provided, and then
it munges everything into a set of gigantic folders; it's a mess. We should
make component packages and then such a combination package can simply
include those.

We need to redo our packaging in general, both to sort out the individual
messes that exist and to coordinate the output better across the project.
It's something that gets discussed at release time but then fades away until
the next release (I'm as guilty as anyone, I started this same discussion a
year ago shortly before the 0.6 release process began, and here we are
again). We just need to actually do something about it at some point.
