In the meantime i'm working on coming up a Docker build and script with something adjacent to what was done here for verifying cassandra builds (https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/pull/32/files#diff-a636443cd5bfb43c9eddbf4ea4ce8546d63190b9326266245ab0068984fe59c1), but for the java driver.  Hopefully will be able to get that going this weekend.   I'll work to share something for that soon, and hopefully that can help us establish some more confidence on our release artifacts!

I assume you mean the main distribution (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/cassandra/cassandra-java-driver/4.19.1/apache-cassandra-java-driver-4.19.1.tar.gz; which also includes src zips), it does look like there are some modules missing from the distribution pom that should probably be included;  It's likely that these modules were never added to the distribution build when they were introduced and no one has noticed until now.  Let me see if I can fix that and make another go at this. https://github.com/apache/cassandra-java-driver/blob/4.x/distribution/pom.xml#L47-L69 Just did a spot check and it looks like the source tar is including everything since it's just grabbing everything with exception to some dotfiles.

Maybe a noob question, but why do the source artifact distributions only contain (core, query-builder, mapper-processor, mapper-runtime) and not (metrics, guava, etc) which do have source files in-tree?
