The current uimaj and uima-as source distributions have included some special

(and other IDEs) can access the source for these, conveniently.
The convention, though, is now to have the source bundled into a Jar for every
component; this is done by the standard Apache Maven common POM when
"releasing". These sources will be available in Maven central.
I am simplifying the release process, (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-1910 ) and would like to eliminate
these special scripts, with the goals of reducing our develop/release work, and
encouraging people to move toward using m2eclipse or equivalent that
automatically knows to get the source from Maven central.
Any objections? As an alternative, we could move these scripts to the place
where we have all of our other scripts.
Please voice your views :-)
+1 for removing them and for releasing maven source jars.
