For Apache ACE we ended up creating three archives: src, bin and deps. If you download src only, you need to make sure you collect/build all deps yourself. If you also got the deps archive, you could just “drop that in” and our “bin” made sure it contained “something runnable” (but that’s a bit different here since ACE is essentially something you can run and Zest is really a collection of libraries to use in development.

Should the binary release (and the output of the build of the source release) contain (or not) the exact dependencies used to build the system?? One side of me says; Yes, because that is hard to hunting for if you are not a Maven addict. And the other says; No, that becomes a too large download, and you still don't necesarily get it right since you don't know which jar is needed for which library. Comments?
