Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-6682:
------------------------------------

no huge necessity, just to register dependency type for source release, because 
it's not well known

"I have once added zips to the class path which should have fixed the problem": 
one question with such type would be to define if it has to be added to 
classpath or not, since this is one attribute
I don't remember precisely when/how this zip addition to classpath happened in 
the past, but I'm convinced the mechanisms are not clear at the moment

> create "source-release" dependency type
