   Another current difference between the ant and maven builds is how the 
"distribution" archives are created.
   
   Currently, the ant build generates both zip and .tar.gz versions of  
xalan-j_version_number-bin.tar and  xalan-j_version_number-src.tar. 
   
   The Ant source collection puts everything under  a top-level 
xalan-j_version_number/ directory, and pulls xalan-test in as a subdirectory. 
The intent appears to be to facilitate atomic distribution, build, and test 
when fetch from git is not practical. Maven instead is currently producing a 
.sources.jar for each module, and is not including the tests in any of them 
(though it will do so if/when we migrate xalan-test into xalan_java/test). Is 
there still a need for a source distribution collection?
    
    The Ant bin collection does *not* include a copy of the tests, but does 
bundle xalan and serializer under a xalan-j_version_number/ directory, and 
includes documentation and SOURCE of the samples -- in other words, it's 
basically the build output minus compilation of the samples. It does *not* 
bundle the tests. Maven is not currently producing an equivalent. Is there 
still a need for this?
