| Packaging/release artifacts |
| |
| The release artifact contains the following jar file at the top level: |
| |
| zookeeper-<version>.jar - legacy jar file which contains all classes |
| and source files. Prior to version 3.3.0 this |
| was the only jar file available. It has the |
| benefit of having the source included (for |
| debugging purposes) however is also larger as |
| a result |
| |
| The release artifact contains the following jar files in "dist-maven" directory: |
| |
| zookeeper-<version>.jar - bin (binary) jar - contains only class (*.class) files |
| zookeeper-<version>-sources.jar - contains only src (*.java) files |
| zookeeper-<version>-javadoc.jar - contains only javadoc files |
| |
| These bin/src/javadoc jars were added specifically to support Maven/Ivy which have |
| the ability to pull these down automatically as part of your build process. |
| The contents of the legacy jar and the bin + sources jars are the same. |
| |
| As of version 3.3.0, the bin, sources and javadoc jars contained in the |
| dist-maven directory are deployed to the central repository after the release |
| is voted on and approved by the Apache ZooKeeper PMC: |
