[jira] Commented: (WICKET-3365) 1.5-RC1 sources seem to be missing in Maven repository

["Willis Blackburn (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-3365?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12985127#action_12985127 ] 

Willis Blackburn commented on WICKET-3365:
------------------------------------------

Please consider:

1.  The project does provide a "wicket" component, so it must be a legitimate part of the release.

2.  Every single release from 1.3.0 through 1.5-M3 included the sources for the "wicket" artifact.  I only noticed this when I changed from 1.5-M3 to 1.5-RC1.

3.  Providing the "wicket" artifact but not providing the sources needlessly imposes a penalty on Maven users who choose to reference that artifact from their pom.xml files:  their IDEs will be unable to find the sources.  I suppose that those people could go download the individual source jars and reference them from the IDE, but I think that those people would rather just change pom.xml to reference the component artifacts.  

4.  There must be a process for creating the "wicket" artifact and its sources, as evidenced by the fact that those jars have been part of the release for years.  It seems likely that the source-generation part is just broken.

If the project wants to deprecate the "wicket" artifact then that's fine, but in that case, I think that it should simply be eliminated.  But if the project is going to continue to provide the artifact, then I think that it should provide the corresponding source artifact too.
