Hi, sorry for being a little unprecise. It is not that I don't want to have the sources locally, but don't want to manage the attaching on every developer machine as you have guessed.
Therefore I tried the m2eclipse feature "Download Artifact Sources" and give it a try with dbunit-2.2.3 from repo1.maven.org which has Javadoc and sources attached. Unfortunately that doesn't work. Neither are the sources downloaded nor attached to the local jar. Do you have any idea what might be the problem? The other thing is: most of the jars we use do not have sources in the public repositories. Could you give me a short introduction on how to add these sources manually to our enterprise repository and attach to their jars?

I mean, if you want maven to manage sources, then those sources will be present locally, after having been downloaded. Now, the thing is: if what you want is just no to have to do it manually on each developer machine, then yes, it's possible. The simplest way seems to select the "Download Artifact Sources" checkbox, in Window/Preferences/Maven. This way, if the jars you're using also provide their sources (for artifact-version.jar, it must be named artifact-version-sources.jar). Then m2e (this is not a "core" maven feature) will download and link those sources with the corresponding jars. Outside Eclipse, using the CLI, you can also do mvn dependency:sources in your project root. That will try and download all artifact sources (transitively, sure). Then it will display a summary of which sources could not be found. This is what we sometimes use to find projects that miss sources jars to manually deploy those sources in our corporate maven repo. HTH Cheers. PS : if you have very M2E specific questions, then you might prefer using the M2E users mailing list instead (see http://m2eclipse.codehaus.org/mail-lists.html). 2008/9/17 Ole Laurisch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hello all, > > I'm using Maven 2 and the m2eclipse Maven integration for Eclipse. > How can I attach a source zip to a jar (let's say jface.jar) without > having to have this source zip locally stored on every developers machine? > Is there a way to let the source zips be managed by Maven too? > > Thanks in advance, > Ole > > -- engram GmbH > Konsul-Smidt-Straße 8r > 28217 Bremen > Germany > Tel.: +49-[0]421-620298-0 > Fax: +49-[0]421-620298-999 > Handelsregister Bremen HRB 20782 > Geschäftsführer: Jens Wünderlich > Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Ralf Paslack -- Baptiste <Batmat> MATHUS - http://batmat.net Sauvez un arbre, Mangez un castor ! -- engram GmbH Konsul-Smidt-Straße 8r 28217 Bremen Germany Tel.: +49-[0]421-620298-0 Fax: +49-[0]421-620298-999 Handelsregister Bremen HRB 20782 Geschäftsführer: Jens Wünderlich Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Ralf Paslack
