The definitive ASF position is: - the ASF releases source code - the src release should contain everything needed to build - binary releases are optional - binary releases, if provided, should be derivable from the src release (I know - the above list misses out a bunch of stuff) > The VFS build includes the javadoc and source jars in the distribution zip, > even though there is a separate source distribution zip (the source > distribution is complete while the source jar is only suitable for use by an > IDE).
