Not sure what you mean here...as long as those artifacts are published with a plugin release, you should be able to resolve them...

If you're suggesting we make it mandatory to resolve source/javadoc along with the plugin itself, regardless of whether they're going to be used, then I disagree strongly.

This is more for IDEs like Idea or eclipse to be able to download sources/javadocs for dependencies, right now these two projects uses some hacks to download the dependencies, since there is no method they can invoke to download sources or javadocs. Maybe not make it mandatory, but add a new method so these other dependencies (sources/javadocs) can be resolved in a standard way along with dependecy itself.

I'd agree to John Casey, this is a won't fix. If you want to integrate source and Javadoc into Eclipse, use me2eclipse, check the checkbox and m2eclipse pull sources and javadoc integrates into your invironment.

From this point of view this has nothing to do with maven and is a won't fix.
