Putting the sources in the main artifact JAR is not the way to go,
especially if it's made optional. Then you'll end up with a mix bag of
artifacts.

For releases, I think it would be cool to have the source jar made as
well as part of the standard process. For snapshots I don't know if this
is really worth it.

How to make this easy for users? I think this falls in the domain of the
IDE. For example, I don't think it would take much for the Mevenide
folks to add a snippet of code to look for a source archive artifact and
pull it down if the user wishes. We should make the source drops
available but mixing sources with binaries I think is a big no no.
