Perhaps I missed some discussion, but I'm confused why the source bundle contains fully generated api and spec javadoc trees? In fact, should it have a top-level doc directory at all? Seems wrong to me. Perhaps it's to make the top-level
It was my impression that we wanted to keep the reorganization of the distributions to a minimum so that when the source and binary distribution is overlayed you end up with the same layout as the JTSK distribution. I think that requirement is responsible for the somewhat odd layout, at least compared to how the average Apache project provides its binary and source distribution.
index.html functional if you don't download and overlay the binary release, but that seems pretty hacky to me.
No top-level doc directory and a BUILDING.txt (only included in the source distribution) that mentions that the actual build instructions can be found in source/doc/build.html would solve this. For me no need to do this as part of AR1, but an example BUILDING.txt is attached. B.T.W. building from the source distribution is OK now. -- Mark
