The javadoc and source JARs are expected to be in the Maven repo. I'm not saying we should delete those. However the bin and src zip and tar.gz archives are not supposed to be in the Maven repo. These at least triple the storage space required. For releases that include bz2 archives as well it will be 4 times. > I just thought, it would not hurt - > if I need to download something manually, I will usually go to the > download-page of the project.
