Provide sources and javadoc artifacts packaged into jars on the Maven repository

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be handy if, in the spymemcached Maven repository, that artifacts 
for sources and javadoc were provided as jar files instead of (or in 
addition to) the zip files that are already present. Various Maven-related 
tools (such as m2eclipse) can automatically download sources and 
documentation, but they tend to expect jar files (or in the Maven lingo, 
they expect artifacts with a "jar" packaging type).

It's rather annoying how I seemingly can't tell the tools to fetch the zip 
files instead, especially given that jar files are just renamed zip files 
that also happen to include a manifest file, which gets ignored when 
displaying documentation in my IDE... At the moment I'm working around this 
by downloading the zip files manually and telling my IDE about them, but 
I'd rather not do so for every future version of spymemcached I happen to 
upgrade to.
