So what you all are saying is that the "eclipse:eclipse

local repository without messing up my .project and .classpath file.
I think that is correct. In
browsing mail archives and
Jira reports, I get the
impression that the eclipse
plugin is the reason that
source archives exist in the
repositories at all.
Of course, now that sources
might start to show up in
the repositories, it
opens up all kinds of interesting
possibilities. For instance,
the facility could be used to
create a complete javadoc
site for a project and all
of its dependencies with
near-zero configuration.
Similarly, for jobs that
require available 3rd-party
source code be delivered
with the system, having those
sources--tied to exact
releases--available in a repo
could help ease the pain of
"operation shrinkwrap" (as a
colleague used to call it).
