"sources" jar published in maven repo contains several binary .class files

[the-vj]

for example:

https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/io/opentelemetry/opentelemetry-sdk-common/1.25.0/opentelemetry-sdk-common-1.25.0-sources.jar

=> binary class files can be found in: \META-INF\versions\9\io\opentelemetry\sdk\internal

this sounds like a cosmetic thing, but causes real-world problems. e.g. we have automated tooling to manage open source libraries and to check compliance with licensing conditions (where original source code artifacts are fetched and processed) - obviously, archives containing binary .class files are rejected as invalid/corrupted.

isn't a standard maven plugin used to package the sources jar before publishing a release into central maven repo? to be honest, can't even think of how this sort of mix of classes and sources can happen in practice - but apparently it does ;)

this issue is not unique to the 1.25.0 release of the artifact, i just used it as an example...
