I've looked around a bit and all projects seems to handle distributions differently.

For example, the Lucene java dist is split up in two, the -source dist and the -binary dist. And only the source dist contains the (contrib) dependencies. Also, the binary dist contains the demo source! Wicked.

Solr bakes it all up in one and the same file. It does contain dependencies.

Other projects have other ways of handling it.

I suggest we simply distribute a tar/zip-ball that contains the complete trunk, the core javadocs and core jar-file. And that's it. I.e. no examples jar nor examples javadocs.

I think we'll want the examples and javadocs. That's about the only way people are going to be able to get started. I think 1 tar/zip ball is good, though, that has the source, the libs and the examples and docs.



What do you say?
