Prior to version 3.3.0 this was the only jar file available. It has the benefit of having the source included (for debugging purposes) however is also larger as a result zookeeper--bin.jar - contains only class (*.class) files zookeeper--src.jar - contains only src (*.java) files zookeeper--javadoc.jar - contains only javadoc files The bin/src/javadoc jars were added specifically to support Maven/Ivy which have the ability to pull these down automatically as part of your build process. The content of the legacy jar and the bin+src jar are the same. As of version 3.3.0 bin/src/javadoc jars are deployed to the Apache Maven repository. http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/
