docs nad src jars in tgz and zip distributions?

[Chris Hostetter <ho...@fucit.org>]

checking out 1.3 RC1 i notice that the "src" Jars and "docs" Jars 
generated for maven (containing the source and and javadocs for each 
corrisponding "code" jar) are included in the dist directory of the 
release.

It makes sense to have these for maven users -- but they seem like 
overkill for normal tgz and zip file releases, which already contain the 
src and docs directly.

Was leaving these in dist to be included in the tgz/zip files just an 
oversight, or was it intentional that they be included in the conventional 
release artifacts?  Is there an advantage to them that i'm not aware of?

(FWIW: elimitating them would reduce the size of the tgz file about 13% 
... from 23M to 20M)

Yeah, no need for them to be in there.  I'll take care of it.

Doesn't seem like maven artifacts should be in the download... that's
what the maven repo is for, right?
