Hi, > Thanks for your feedback. No problem.

Perhaps put something in the release notes about that so people know why the jar is there? There may be some questions about including a jar in the source even if gradle recommends doing that. I assume there's no way you could compile the jar from source as part of the build or download the jar? > KEYS are available both inside and outside the release package.

IMO it's certainly not an something that would stop a release. > These are actually BUILD configuration files for pants Was unaware of that - thanks for clearing it up. Thanks, Justin
