Description

Often projects ship jars that include the source code, for convenience, or use in an IDE.

This patch adds:

  • a plugin property, maven.jar.include.source, defaulted to false, that is used to decide whether source is included in the jar
  • a plugin property, maven.jar.source.path, defaulted to 'src', which is the location of the source in the jar
  • a goal to copy source into the maven.build.dest directory before jar'ing.

patch #4. In this patch, the tests are split into separate goals and there's now a test for a custom source path in the jar

Is there a reason why this patch never made it into a release?

By looking at the documentation it seems though as this issue has already been resolved (see description of the property 'maven.jar.include.source').

I don't this that his is a useful feature to actually include the sources inside your jar. Source artifacts are useful and should be separate artifacts and installed into the repository as a separate jar. Maven 2 already supports this.
