Hi Francis,

I am someone who downloads distributions. When I discover a new project =
I want to find out what it does. For that I need the examples and the =
documentation. For me it would really convenient to have the javadoc =
available right away.
Hence IMO the distribution file is mainly for people who evaluate =
Empire-db as an option amongst others. And we just want to make sure =
that we win the competition.

Sure it's not a blocker but we really should consider it for this =
release since the next one is still far away.
And it's probably not a big deal is it?
Let's see what the others say and whether more issues are coming up.

Regards,
Rainer
