add mojo for creating a source bundle
-------------------------------------

         Key: MSOURCES-7
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSOURCES-7
     Project: Maven 2.x Sources Plugin
        Type: New Feature

    Versions: 2.0.1    
    Reporter: Ovidio Mallo


I think it would be nice to have some mojo "source:jar-with-dependencies" or 
something similar which not only includes the artifact's sources into the JAR 
but also those of its transitive dependencies. This would e.g. allow to create 
a source bundle for an assembly created with Maven.

As a concrete example, the "Maven 2.x Plugin for Eclipse" project, which is no 
Maven but a simple PDE project, uses the MavenEmbedder assembly. There, it 
would be very handy to also have such a source bundle to attach to the assembly 
JAR file inside Eclipse for developing and especially for debugging.

Would there maybe be any interest (beside my single use case :-)) in such a 
feature? If so, I would eventually give it a try myself if I find the time...
