Not new at all. I know that one of the oldest Java projects here, Cocoon, once only released buildable(!) source code. What is happening in some Java projects, via Maven's release plugin, is disturbing since the "source release" only exist in the subversion repository. The -source.jar is packaged in a non-buildable format optimized for IDE source integration and not to be reproducable. Some ASF projects (I think including some of Maven's own artifacts and subprojects) are now in total opposite of "old school source releases" and effectively only releases "binaries" containing re-packaged sources and one has to go to source repository to find the 'real' source code for that release.
