This is a Maven project and we follow Maven conventions. Anything that is
processed by a Java compiler belongs into src/main/java (true for
package-info.java files, not true for packageinfo files or package.html files).
Anything else that should be collected in a jar file is a resource and belongs
therefore into src/main/resources. The fact that you have to reconfigure the
resources clearly demonstrates this.
Nevertheless, these files will make our release process even more
cumbersome if they are checked in as sources. The nature and content of the
files identifies them clearly as something that can be generated. We might even
be able to use the antrun plugin directly. If we put it into a profile and
activate it based on file existence, we might even move it into commons-parent.
