Description

When building custom sinks, interceptors, channels and sinks for specific versions of Apache Flume, it would be nice to have the source for the classes attached after running running mvn eclipse:eclipse -DdownloadSources=true to set up the projects in Eclipse.

I took a look at the Maven Central repository and it looks like the last time source jars were published alongside the class jars was in release 1.2.0

This was discontinued after 1.2.0

We should update the build process (pom.xml etc) or add additional steps to upload the source jars to Maven Central.
