Good point.  comments inline ...

Allen, I already voted +1, but I just noticed sources being combined in, and I had a couple of comments/questions.

(1) You might want to consider calling the top of the source tree something other than "src", maybe "sources" because I think we expect it to look like the top of the roller source tree does in SVN which itself contains several directories and files (e.g. "web", "tools", build.xml) as well as the actual "src" directory below it.

yes, that definitely makes sense.



(2) I hope there will be a source distribution that does not include the binary(?)

what's the standard here? i don't usually download the source distribution so i'm not sure what most people do, but it makes sense to me that downloading the source means you don't get a binary.



(3) Do we plan to include the (distributable) libraries that are under the "tools" in such combined packages?

seems like the best thing to do may be to remove the "webapp" directory and include a "sources" directory in the source distribution. in that case the "sources" directory would contain everything needed to build the war, including libs.

would that work?
