--- Comment #5 from Nick Williams <nicho...@nicholaswilliams.net> ---
"the answer to that problem is probably creating additional directories for the
embedded JARs under ${tomcat.manifests} at the same time ${tomcat.manifests} is
created."

Yep. That's what I did, except I created them under the .embed and
.embed.source directories and then deleted them after the <jarIt> call.

"I'm not clear what the purpose of adding those files to the source JAR would
be."

The source JARs should contain all code necessary to build a running Tomcat,
right? Obviously there's the matter of "it's easier to download from SVN, where
there's an existing Ant build script you can use," but still, theoretically,
one should be able to unzip the source files, fire up an IDE, and start
working/building. Without the META-INF resources, any JAR they built would be
incomplete.

Just my $0.02. If you disagree that that's needed, I understand.
