I'm pretty sure they were all constructed by hand.As long as their contents are appropriately licensed (which is true if they come from sources in the contribution), there is no legal reason we can't commit these jars to svn; but if they can be generated by build scripts without terrible build performance pain, it would be better, IMHO, to remove them from svn once that is set up. Similar to the package naming issue though, I think preserving a build that works is more important in the near term than tidiness, so I have no problem committing the jars for now.
+1An objective should be to build what you can from your own project sources; include dependencies as binaries from well-known appropriately licensed external projects; and document the ownership and licenses via suitable NOTICE files for redistribution.
