See the thread about "How to build source plugins", which I started 
on sunday. Sonia Dimitrov gave some instruction there how to do
that.

In short: the normal build.xml does not zip a complete distribution.
You have to call all the features you want to install with some ant
calls to get a source and bin zip with the content of the feature.
Then you need to unzip this files into the right location.
