Hello Richard, Yes you are right, the Maven release lifecycle produces the source-jars by default. It is just a matter of uploading these source-jar artifacts to the repository. Also no less important than source-jars are the javadoc jars (also produced by maven-release-plugin by default) -- especially in the current situation when Felix JavaDoc documentation is not available online (at least not to my knowledge).
In case you would need any help with the Maven configuration just let me know. I would be happy to assist.

Is it just a matter of uploading its source release? If so, it should be do-able I would guess. -> richard Juhos, Pavol wrote: > Hello Felix team, > > It would be very helpful if you could also deploy JAR files containing the > source code to the Maven repositories.
