Actually, re-reading the above and it doesn't state a need of a
working pom.xml or build.xml, just the source that is matching the
binaries. In this respect we don't violate this. We do not provide a
buildfile, but a Java developer will be able to build the source
regardless (e.g. by writing build.xml himself, or importing sources in
Eclipse).
