Continuing the discussion from #122, I do wonder if this type of binary and source distros are even still necessary nowadays. Just make sure to publish the right artifacts to Maven Central and instruct users to fetch whatever binary, javadoc and source artifacts you deploy to there. That should cover everything. I never work with zip or tar archives like that, if avoidable. I always try to fetch everything I need via Maven. The only possible exception are installers for applications containing multiple artifacts, if I want to just unzip or install them and run the CLI application without setting up a Maven project. But I really cannot remember many such cases. I think, those manually built distros are simply an anachronism in most cases. Maven has all the tooling to automatically build binary, source and javadoc JARs. Central requires all of them for deployment nowadays, anyway. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
