This would be more useful if you included a build system too so people wanting to build ecj from that source would not have to go looking for CVS. The primary use of the sources IMHO is to build it. http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/linux-distro/
An ant script would be good enough?

The source.zip is intended to be attached to the binary.jar for browsing purpose. I am not sure the sources should be polluted with build files... at least, this would be a new requirement. Shouldn't such a file rather be located elsewhere ? Could be linked from our development resources page... now I could see why bundling it would allow to evolve it along with the sources layout.

One build.xml file is hardly much pollution and for example on Gentoo our package manager automatically creates the src.zip stripped to just java files if you want to. > > Shouldn't such a file rather be located elsewhere ?

Hopefully this does not come out as too harsh. If you want to have a separate stripped src.zip that is fine by me. It should not be hard to write ant targets to automatically create the files for you. Thanks.
Released for 3.3M6. I'll verify the next build to see if the script is properly included.
Verified for 3.3 M6 using build I20070321-0010
