Description

It would be valuable to have additional type of source distribution, a source jar that has the same structure as the jar and javadoc jar. It's useful for use in IDEs for debugging, examining source for dependencies etc. If such source distributions get uploaded to remote servers along with the jars and javadoc jars, it's fairly easy to automate the download and use in the IDE for any dependency of the currently used project. (I would like to use this feature in mevenide)

The proposed patch is attached. If you accept the patch, I can also try to write the docs for the feature.
