wrong directory structure in src distribution package (maven-dist-plugin-1.7)

With Maven 1.1-beta-2 and maven-dist-plugin-1.7:

if my project.xml defines:

<build>
<sourceDirectory>src/main/java</sourceDirectory>
...

Then the dist:build-src target generates an incorrect src distribution file since the source files are packaged to path src/foo/bar/MyClass.java instead of src/main/java/foo/bar/MyClass.java

–

To fix this, change the dist:prepare-src-filesystem goal in maven-dist-plugin-1.7 to read:

<util:available file="src">
<ant:copy todir="${maven.dist.src.assembly.dir}/src">
<ant:fileset dir="src" />
</ant:copy>
</util:available>

This will preserve the actual directory structure.
