Dan,

"It's up to each project to get their releases correct" - Yes. But not everyone hangs out on the d...@maven or gene...@incubator. Hence the request to broadcast.

I really don't understand the "why?" - No one is trying to mandate using a specific pom across all PMC(s). Just the fact that there was a problem that was actively worked on and fixed and the proposed solution. Basically telling pmcs take it or leave it. At the very least pay attention that the jars that they release should be build-able using the source zip(s).

Brian,

Do you mind sending an email to pmcs AT apache.org to inform them that they
  should be using this new version of Apache pom? And any other additional
  instructions needed to enable this "feature" to work.

Why?   It's up to each project to get their releases correct.   That version
of the Apache pom isn't required to get the needed "source" bundles created.
I know for CXF, the current parent poms don't work at all and thus we
SHOULDN'T use it.

thanks,

What is happening in some Java projects, via Maven's release plugin,

This problem has been solved and is no longer valid. Any
repetition of the old news is total fud. We have for many months now
been providing proper source releases for EVERYTHING in the maven
project and just recently promoted the same to the Apache pom making
it automatic for any Apache project with the new pom. See links below
for more info:

As far as I understand the requirements, this issue is completely
resolved so lets stop saying that Maven produces incorrect releases.
It was never an issue with the tool itself, but as a project we've
fixed it and are sharing it to all projects at Apache using Maven.
