I noticed that too, the jar files contain the .java sources and other stuff not found in the jar files available on Maven Central. This happens because the build was patched to not use bnd to create the jar files [1], the <jar> task used instead catches too many files. I don't understand why bnd was disabled, the description of the patch claims dependency issues but it's not clear what exactly. I tried disabling the patch and it built fine. So I'll remove it in the next upload, this will simplify the packaging. Emmanuel Bourg [1] https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/asm.git/tree/debian/patches/remove_bnd.diff?h=debian/5.2-1
