first i named it only "animal-sniffer" but upstreams svn tag name is
animal-sniffer-parent-1.6 so the created orig tarball was named
animal-sniffer-parent_1.6.... and i renamed the source package :-).

First i tried to package only the animal-sniffer.jar with a single
source / binary package but this needs the java-boot-classpath-detector
and i start another single source / binary package. But this seems
wrong because it comes both from the same source and so this bigger
package was created. Should i melt all together in one binary package?
It seems a neat idea to create a single binary package for every sub
module (The jar, the Maven plugin, the Ant task and so on).

Matthias
