That's correct. Commons Configuration generates a parser with JavaCC and
the grammar files aren't included in the source jar published in the
Maven repository.

http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=commons-configuration/commons-configuration/1.9/commons-configuration-1.9-sources.jar

Currently the main usage of the source artifacts is to let you see in
your IDE the code of the dependencies you imported into your project.

Maybe a new type of artifact should be invented to let anyone build the
project, something like a *-build.jar containing the complete project
structure. That would unify the debian/watch files of all the Maven
based packages.
