[jbosscache-dev] Packaging unit tests in distros

[Brian Stansberry]

+1. Keep it simple; strip out the overhead of having to make sure all 
this ancillary stuff works from anything other than a checkout.

I see JBC's maven build doesn't publish a 
jbosscache-core-X.X.X-sources.jar though.  A source jar whose contents 
mirror the jbosscache-core-X.X.X.jar binary.  That's very useful as a 
mavenized project depending on JBC will pull down that file to the local 
repo, where it's easy to tell your IDE to use it as the source.  That to 
me handles the main use case for a source distribution.

Must be simple to get that -sources.jar publishing that going, as a 
couple of my projects do it and I didn't do anything to make it happen. ;)
