Source should be in a ZIP, not a jar... in my opinion.

For our projects we always build a code .jar, a source .zip, and a=20
javadoc .zip

From there (using ANT) it is trivial to make a "total download" single=20=

ZIP containing the nested zips, or the whole structure as is on the buil=
d=20
tree.

Gotta love ANT.

We've just been doing some work on a release for a new project, and we'v=
e=20
really upped the amount of ANT automation. We are using my AntWMCompile =

project (a new version of the thing that used to be in contrib!)=20
extensively to build all our READMEs and LICENSEs with parameterized=20=

version numbers, product names, revision history, file lists etc.

It's going pretty well, but it could do with being a bit cleaner. The=20=

AntWMCompile project (a complete distro including ANT, WM and my tool an=
d=20
a simple example) will be available soon, if anyone wants to try it, let=
=20
me know... brilliant for building any kind of offline/static content.
