> The source:jar mojo explicitly prevents the Maven descriptor from being added to the produced -sources.jar file.
> https://github.com/apache/maven-plugins/blob/trunk/maven-source-plugin/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/plugin/source/AbstractSourceJarMojo.java#L292-292
> I could not find an explanation or technical reason why this is done.
> Adding the maven descriptor to the source jar can help expose valuable information about the build that produced it.
> Expected:
> - allow the archiver used to create the source jar to respect the plexus archiver configuration if it is configured to include the Maven descriptor.
> - preserve the default behaviour of not including the Maven descriptor, for (unknown) backwards compatibility reasons only
