Description

When build Sqoop2 with -Pbinary profile for building binary distribution, all the source folders and files are included directly in the result tar.gz package.

Usually, this is not desired. The many source folders included in the binary package are very distracting and prevent the user understanding the run-time ingredients for Sqoop2. Ideally, a binary package would include only the binary, lib, or conf files necessary for the run-time.

If we do want to include the source in the binary package, it should be included as a internal tar.gz file in the binary package.
