Not for Debian as this makes it impossible to patch security issues

would including the jar of the sources --e.g. escher-0.3.0.jar and 
escher-0.3.0-src.jar-- address that concern.

Don't put jars without sources into classpath releases. Otherwise
Distros will need to alter the upstream tarball and remove this. And
altering removes the feature that people can easily check if the
upstream sources used by a distro is really what upstream released.

This makes sense. I am all for it.

Mark proposed to put jars that are (optionally) needed for classpath on
http://builder.classpath.org/ somewhere. What do others think?
