Packgaging type is the single most important feature of a pom as it defines the binding of mojos to the lifecycle used to builde that project, which means what is done at what time. Packaging "pom" is for toplevel projects without sources, and not much is done with this packaging. Packaging jar is the standard one for projects with sources to compile, test and deploy. see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html, although a bit too technical. > Is it possible to create a source jar appropriate for eclipse > debugging, when the artifact has packaging pom? > I dont think so, but anyway, a pom project does (should) not contain sources.
