* Recipe

** Configuring Maven Source Plugin

  We execute the <<<{{{../../plugins/maven-source-plugin/jar-mojo.html}source:jar}}>>> goal from the source plugin during the <<<package>>> phase.

%{snippet|id=source|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/site/cookbook/attach-source-javadoc/pom.xml}

** Configuring Maven Javadoc Plugin

  Same thing for the <<<{{{../../plugins/maven-javadoc-plugin/jar-mojo.html}javadoc:jar}}>>> goal from the javadoc plugin.

%{snippet|id=javadoc|url=http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox/trunk/site/cookbook/attach-source-javadoc/pom.xml}

** Running Maven

  Just call Maven to generate the packages:

+-----+
mvn package
+-----+

* Other Tips

  To improve the build time or for a release, you could also define these plugins in a profile.
