How are cTAKES resources distributed via Maven Central?

Hi

I was looking if/how cTAKES distributes resources via Maven Central. I found some, but I am actually quite a bit confused now.

There are the <component>-res artifacts [1], like ctakes-pos-tagger-res. These have a JAR and a sources-JAR. The JAR is practically empty, but the sources-JAR appears to contain the actual resources. Is there a special reason for this?

Additionally, there is the ctakes-resources-distribution which is distributed as a "bin.zip" via Maven Central. It appears to contain UMLS data. Has it been replaced by ctakes-resources-umls2011ab in 3.1.1? The ctakes-resources-umls2011ab JAR actually contains data, contrary to the <component>-res JARs mentioned above. Why is there data in this JAR, but not in the <component>-res JARs?

/me scratching head…

Please enlighten me :)

Cheers,

-- Richard

The contents  -res jars/projects have been temp commented out by the parent Pom. 
-it was quite ready for prime time yet. Mainly because some of the code still can not load resources from jars/class paths (some of which we do not have control the 3rd party code so it's not as straight forward) And leaving both file/cp could lead to conflicts. We need to switch that over-
