Re: [xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Generate and publish sources for snapshot builds in the CI

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?

Would it be that much of a build time penalty for actually generating source builds for each artefact?

WDYT? Thanks, Eduard _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
