missing -source.jar bundles in maven repository for many apache commons
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: COMMONSSITE-24
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-24
Project: Commons All
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Commons Build
Reporter: nicolas de loof
Priority: Minor
Following discution on dev list,
Many commons-* artifacts in maven "central" repository have no -sources.jar
bundle, that is VERY usefull for developers as Maven download them and attch to
project classpath for debugging.
Those jars can be created from existing source distribution available at
http://archives.apache.org
Curt Arnold has created an Ant script to download them and re-package as
-source.jars, and including the required legal files (LICENSE & NOTICE).
The only issue is for old releases that used Apache license 1.1. Depending if
you consider repackaging source distribution to be a NEW release, it MUST
follow ASL 2.0 conventions (NOTICE & LICENSE file, source files HEADER ...) so
requires some changes on sources and become useless for debugging purpose (as
line numbers will not match !)
