Hi,

That is the first hint what the sources and javadoc JARs are used for. 
Is there a description how the Nexus thing works? What targets does it 
call? How does it know what files are to be kept and from where to take 
them?

How about a new target like "dist-all" that can be used to generate 
everything that one can dream of? That target is used by Nexus or by 
whoever wants everything. The regular plugin developer will continue to 
use "dist". "dist-all" will generate the JARs in the dist directory, 
*-javadoc.jar and *-sources.jar are in the ignore list already. No SVN 
update/commit for sources.jar and javadoc.jar.

Regards,
Holger

PS: The shenron.openstreetmap.org mail server delays the emails, e.g. 
Dirks email was delayed by 8 hours. Does someone know why it does that? 
The messages show up in the mail archive immediately, but I need to wait 
until I get it to be able to reply.
