What is the intended difference between the src and the bin releases? 

 

I initially downloaded the binary package, but it didn’t work for this first machine, since I am using Java 6 on it (I tested the beta2 with Java 6 without any problems).  When I got java mismatch errors, I realized my mistake and I downloaded the src package, thinking it would be pure source code, and I’d compile everything for Java 6, but it seems like the source release includes binaries for all the associated jars (shibcommon, etc.) that I was expecting to build.

 

It seems like the source package should be everything as source; mixing it with mostly binaries and one component as source doesn’t quite seem to make sense.
