Sure, that would be fine.  Or just have

  openmtbmap.org/mkgmap/mkgmap_src.zip
  openmtbmap.org/mkgmap/mkgmap.jar
  openmtbmap.org/mkgmap/index.html (or autogenerated)

and consider yourself done, having made the source available in the same
place.

If you are only offering jars of code that is exactly a public svn
revision, then I can't see anyone caring about the jar/distribution/GPL
issue, but I think it is good for overall practice to be careful about
it anyway.

Yes.  The requiremnt is "complete corresponding source", so that someone
who knows what they are doing (with java, in this case) could rebuild
it.

My experience is that when the people who are maintaining a repo offer
downloads, and it's clear to everyone that the binaries are just built
From the repo, with no intent to hide anything, no one worries about the
details.  It's not hard to find the official sources starting with a
download URL.

But at

  http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/download/mkgmap.html

I see src links, which is fully satisfactory under 3a.
