The problem with that is how people would get only the main jar of their dependencies? Using an artifact type filter? That doesn't sound good IMO. Another suggested solution is to add a sources->sources(*) in the dependency conf mapping, but I see 2 problems with that: - it makes the sources conf always transitive - the fallback of * doesn't really make sense So what I find would be better is to define a transitive-sources conf, and have a conf mapping of transitive-sources->transitive-sources(*), or even better transitive-sources->transitive-sources(none) if we define 'none' as a special fallback conf which means no dependency conf if the required one does not exist. Of course we would need to do that for javadoc too. WDYT?
