You probably don't want to create additional
dependencies, but the Spring framework's support for
JMX is great!  You just create a java bean as normal
and then tell Spring which methods and getters/setters
to expose in a JMX Mbean.  That's it.  Not that JMX is
that hard anyways but this is even simpler.

Well I'm really happy with the move from 0.8.2 to
0.9.4 with general Exception(s) being thrown from the
encoder/decoder/ioHandler instead of a mina specific
subclass of Exception.  Good move!

I don't know if you can put just a source jar into a
repo if it will do any good.  Maven is primarily about
compiled jar's and the src jars are for reference in
your IDE during debugging.

I believe (rather new to Maven myself) that if you are
using the xxx-SNAPSHOT versioning scheme (which Mina
is) then you can/should put up a new version of your
compiled (and source) jars every time you do a
build....  Nightly if you do it every night.  

Downstream users Maven systems will check for an
updated xxx-SNAPSHOT once a day by default or more
often if forced with a command line switch.  It does
this checking when you invoke mvn for compile/install,
etc.

I don't know if it will help, but I found these
instructions for putting a jar and source-jar up to
iBiblio.

Mergere (the commercial entity behind Maven now) has
put out a pretty ok book about maven.  It's available
as a free PDF download from here:
http://www.mergere.com/m2book_download.jsp  You
probably don't need it since you've been using Maven
for a bit, but it is a good reference at times too.

Thanks again, and if you end up putting the
xxx-SNAPSHOT versions up somewhere please let me know.
