First off, I'm not a developer, just a mildly knowledgeable user like yourself.
I only know about the source, javadoc, binary thing because I have spent some time recently uploading projects into the Maven repo, and Carlos has been kind enough to help me understand that process, including asking me to submit sources where available. One project I can point at and say "that was me, and it includes sources" is JarAnalyzer: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/com/kirkk/jaranalyzer/0.9.3/ I didn't write the code, I just wrote the poms, restructured the project for Maven-izing it (moved code into /src/main/java, etc), built it and uploaded the bundle to JIRA. If you add a dependency on this project: <groupId>com.kirkk</groupId> <artifactId>jaranalyzer</artifactId> <version>0.9.3</version> and then run "mvn -X -e", you'll see in the console that it does not by default pull down sources, only the .../com/kirkk/jaranalyzer/0.9.3/jaranalyzer-0.9.3.jar file is downloaded. I think the intention is to get the repo built up with jars of binaries, sources, and javadocs, and *then* tools like Eclipse Maven plugin etc will be able to expect them and pull them down to use in projects etc like you're wanting. But by default, these sources and javadocs are certainly not checked for or pulled down by Maven. If you really have a "dependency" on the source, you could use classifier: <dependencies><dependency>...<classifier>sources</classifier> to access the sources. But this would be very abnormal. If you want to grab the source, and you know its available for a given dependency in ibiblio, you can just go there manually and pull it down via HTTP. The alternative is to set the dependency with classifier, then go dig around in your ~/.m2/ folder to find the downloaded file. As for the Hibernate sources file, the preferred method is to install it (be sure to set classifier to sources or you'll overwrite your Hibernate binaries with sources), but you can certainly just copy it into your local repo. I think there's a registry of sorts that won't get updated if you just copy the file, but I don't think this is a problem. And you can certainly file a JIRA with the Hibernate sources. I've done this as a user on projects that I have no existing developer relationship with. HTH.
