+1 for this. while I'm fine compiling for source this turned out to be painful when I chose learning mahout as my entertainment on a 4 hour train journey not much fun using maven via 3G

We might consider building separate source release and binary releases,
following the example from lucene: http://www.apache.org/dist/lucene/java/

The src release wouldn't be substantially different from what we currently
distribute as the main release, while the binary release would include
everything included in the source releases with the exception of the sources and the addition of the jars. Wrapping the jars up into a single bundle with
examples and accompanying documentation would be a nice step forward,
currently each of the artifacts must be downloaded independently.

So another thought on this: should we just provide jars as part of a
distribution
via a simple link on lucene.apache.org/mahout?

So that people don't need to build from source?

I mean, if we want to include artifacts, why not just put them on the site
for download?

Yeah I think we should just include the .jars next time for
convenience.
