Hi Thor,

the downloadSources flag is only used by some specific plugins. None
of them being bound to the clean or package lifecycles.
Depending whether you're using Eclipse or IntellIiJ IDEA you can run:

mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources
or
mvn idea:idea -DdownloadSources

This will create the IDE project file for you with the sources maven
could download correctly set up.
If you don't want to be IDE specific but just download the sources I
would suggest using the dependency plugin
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/):

mvn dependency:sources

This will simply download the sources for all your dependencies (well
at least for those which have sources in the repo).

HTH,
SaM
