which version are you using? I´m using Archiva 1.0.2 and it does download sources, sure.
In my pom.xml i have:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-eclipse-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
<configuration>
<outputDirectory>bin</outputDirectory>
<downloadSources>true</downloadSources>
<!--<downloadJavadoc>true</downloadJavadoc>-->
</configuration>
</plugin>
you wrote "-Declipse.downloadSource=true" - think you need
downloadSources=true ?
