As we don't have a server or something similar at the moment I realy
would like to drop the binary distribution. It would make the release
prozess much easier.
WDYT?

Most maven projects I've seen provide two things:
- The source distribution of the actual source code required to build the
projects.
- A link to a maven staging repository with artifacts staged to verify the
binary output as well.
When I look at what Tamaya's done, its a library publishing a binary
release that wraps all of its JARs together. This is not overly useful.
The maven central distribution is enough.
Where I do see it useful is something like a standalone server. In the
cases of ActiveMQ, Kafka,Cassandra their binary releases make sense since
it is something standalone a user can run.

Hi,
John wrote in a comment on TAMAYA-144: " As a reminder, ASF produces
source releases not binaries."
I never questioned if we need a binary distribution or not. But as we
also distribute our binaries also via Maven Central may be we should
provide only our source distribution?
I can't remember when I last time downloaded a jar and added it to the
classpath and...
WDYT?
