Heads up, new jaxp source drop

[Kelly O'Hair]

There has been a request for essentially that, more transparency on these sources.
The downloads are also painful, I know.

The issue with these sources is that they are effectively 'generated sources', transformed
from master sources maintained elsewhere. Having them in the repository is too tempting
for many developers, changing them either purposely or by accident.
I need a mechanism that keeps these sources protected from any change except when being
updated by a new delivery from the jaxp team (or jaxws).
