to get the source into your repository then you need to attache the
source plugin to the package phase as below. this will then
automatically generate the sources and deploy them.
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.0</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>jar</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>

Subject: creating and using source archive
Good morning-
We just completed our first Maven-based
project and are on to the next. First,
thanks to the Maven developers for
their efforts and to the members of
this list who were invariably helpful
and patient during the newbie days.
So, we are moving from the "let's see
how Maven works" phase to the "let's
look at the impact of Maven" phase.
Personally, I have grown from "Maven
child" to "Maven rebellious teenager."
Now, a thing that would really cut
time would be to have source and javadoc archives available in the local
repository--for all local and 3rd- party artifacts.
So my question is, how can I
automatically install source and javadoc jars from development projects
to the local repository? I see the instructions on how to upload them to
ibiblio and I can successfully use the source:jar and javadoc:jar goals.
But how do I get those jars into my local repository using Maven?. I
know I can copy them directly but hopefully that's not the recommended
means. Ideally, I'd like it configured so that building the install goal
installs those jars as well.
On the comment side, I would like to
plead with ibiblio uploaders to please
include source and javadoc archives
with your packages if at all possible.
I know it's extra work but it could
have a big impact on Maven usability.
Thanks as always,
-dub
