By looking only at the sources jars (ignoring javadoc, since we don`t really
need it once we have the sources) it would look as though sources jars are
roughly the same size as classes jars. Here's another example for larger
jars:

So... storage-wise, I`d say that source jars would double storage
requirements for snapshot builds.

Hi devs,
I was wondering why we don`t generate source artefacts for snapshots,
just
like we do for final versions?
While I do agree that final versions are the important ones, it's often
very
annoying to have to manually add sources from the
filesystem (assuming
you
have cloned locally the git repo) for all the
maven modules that you want
to
see the code or even the javadoc or method
parameter names. For final
releases we don`t have that problem because Eclipse and the Maven plugin
(for example) can automatically download the sources in the background
providing an effortless process. However, while working with snapshots,
you
are nagged continuously that the sources can not
be found automatically
and
you experience a bit of unneeded frustration :).
Not only that
Would it be that much of a storage penalty for the extra sources jars to
accompany the snapshot builds?
Sources packages are generally way bigger that jars. See
http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/org/xwiki/commons/xwiki-commons-component-a…
for example.
But maybe it's not really an issue to have a maven repository way
bigger, storage is not that expensive AFAIK.
Would it be that much of a build time penalty for
actually generating
source
builds for each artefact?
It's not minor but I could not tell you the exact cost.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Eduard
