Out of curiosity, can Eclipse take in as the source a .tar.gz file? It seems like what you want is to have the artifacts generated by 'maven dist' be uploaded, which are either a .zip or a .tar.gz. However, .tar.gz seems to come in a quarter the size, and if we are downloading sources, then having a small source file would be key.
