Description

I know it's fairly easy to create a separate source jar that contain the java source, but I've run across a case where I want to include the source along with the classes in the same jar.

In this case the jars are GWT modules which use the source to compile the java code into javascript.

I just tried to check out the source so I could provide a patch, but there seems to be quite a convoluted pom dependency thing going on.
Is there a preferred module to checkout so that I can actually build?

You can simply declare the sources as resources.

As explained, just add the resource in your pom :

<build>
    <resources>
      <resource>
        <directory>src/main/java</directory>
      </resource>
    </resources>
   ....
  </build>

And the sources will be included in the jar.
