Hi Wayne,
First off, thanks for the quick (and informative) response. Also, please
extend my thanks to the author(s) of guide-ibiblio-upload.html. We users
(including myself in this group) tend to be quick to request new features
and functionality, not so much so when it comes to expressing our
appreciation for what already exists :)
Now, on to the follow-up questions:
For those projects that do include source and/or javadoc bundles, will they
be downloaded at the same time that the JAR is downloaded when meeting
project dependencies, or do we need to specifiy seperate dependencies for
the lib, source and javadoc bundles?
I have created a hibernate-3.0.5-sources.jar bundle using the jar
executable and the sources distributed with Hibernate. In order to make
use of this file, do I need to "install" it using "mvn
install:install-file", or is it sufficient just copying the .JAR into the
appropriate location in my local repository?
Is it permissible for me, as an end-user, to file a JIRA to have the
Sources JAR that I have created added to IBiblio, or does this need to come
from someone on the Hibernate team?
Thanks,
Ian

I don't use M2 with Eclipse, so I can't answer this specifically.

This is a "newish" thing for Maven. Several bundles include sources,
and some even include javadocs. You happened to pick a project which
has not chosen to include its sources at this point. This will
hopefully change as more projects use the "mvn source:jar javadoc:jar
repository:bundle-create" rather than simply bundle-create.
The Maven developers responsible for uploading artifacts into Maven
repo are starting to ask that sources be included in bundles. At some
point, perhaps they will even require it, unless the source code
itself cannot be distributed for license reasons.
