Just a suggestion:
When I download the release jar for JME there is no sourcecode included.
I know that I could pull it from CVS but I think for developers it would be a lot better to include a source jar to be used with the ide of your choice (I catch myself hitting F3 in eclipse pretty often).
Maybe a solution is to download the source instead

This is labeled "nightly build", which not necessarily what I want as a nightly build by definition can
a) be broken
or
b) have api changes
If I am using the release candidate or one of the rleeases then I would like to have the sourceocde that release was compiled from and not some nightly build that might be broken.
I tend to agree with you, maybe the devs want to create an offical source release.
We tagged the source 1_0, so it is possible to pull exactly that out.
I know that (and that's where I got my source from) and I don't want to appear lazy but I think for developers in general it would be good thing to have the source with the downloadable package.
I agree with pflanzenmoerder that the release should be shipped with source - in a separate file, at least. jME is an open source project and those usually release with source…
This can be hosted this along with the nightly build, if you want to add a link in the main site for the release, point it to this:
http://www.forthestars.com/jme/jME1_0.zip
http://www.forthestars.com/jme/src1_0.zip
It should also be verified that this release is correct.
