kenney, do you really think that we need to turn this off by default? I think this is a feature that most m2/eclipse users would like to use and I would like to have enabled by default, without forcing users to look at the documentation to understand that this have been finally implemented in m2 and that they need to configure the "eclipse.downloadSources" property if they want to use it. Downloading of source archives is a thing I always missed in m1: just now it probably seems a little useless, unless you have a private repository where you manually added source jars for the dependencies you are using (like I did), but I hope that we could start uploading sources to public repositories too, now that maven handles that (the source plugin can generate such artifacts and the deploy plugin handles them). For example, I would like to see sources for plexus, doxia, and maven related libs available in the central repo, so that javadocs and debug support are available in eclipse without having to checkout the project from cvs and manually changing the eclipse mapping (or deploying the source archive to my local repo). What about leaving the "eclipse.downloadSources" property but with a default to ON? If users know that sources are not available they can set it to off or they can simply run maven -o if they want to configure a project that have been already built using maven and for which all the dependencies are available in in the local maven repo. Did anybody discuss about the distribution of source archives in the m2 ibiblio repo? What about star trying that for a few projects now? fabrizio --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
