Hi Stefan, I have absolutely no idea what it is used for.
Looking at the SVN history, it has been introduced by David Djenks at revision 643768 [1] on April 2008. Personally, I've never used it and I thing it can be removed. Now, about the definiton of the maven-source-plugin from all the POMs you listed, I think it's important to let it even during the local build. It is actually required by the xbean-spring project to generate correct mapping file based on annotations found in sources. But, since we're not using anymore the server-xml file, I think we don't need spring and xbean-spring anymore... So, my understanding is that as soon as we get rid of the server-xml project, we would be able to remove the definition.
