Generally, source jars are only downloaded by the Eclipse plugin (or probably other IDE plugins), not during a normal build. According to this: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-33 javadoc jars are downloaded if the source jar is not available. Haven't noticed/tested this myself though.
I think placing the jar file in the appropriate place in your local repository will be enough for the eclipse plugin to use it. Not sure on the adding of the sources jar, but if nobody answers on that one, it can't hurt to make an upload request with it. -Stephen On 3/7/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Wayne, > > First off, thanks for the quick (and informative) response.
