how to create source.jar on maven install

I'm working in Sprint Tool Suite and I've created a maven project. When I right click on the project I can select Run as...Maven Install. This takes all my class files and packages them into a jar file as expected and also creates a copy to my central maven repository C:\Users\Owner.m2\repository

All that is fine, but I'd like it to also package up all the source files into a sources.jar file. I suspect I'll need to edit the pom.xml file for the project to make that happen, but haven't seen an example of how to do that. Please advise.

You have to add proper plugin to your execution cycle

<plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-source-plugin</artifactId>
  <executions>
    <execution>
      <id>attach-sources</id>
      <goals>
        <goal>jar</goal>
      </goals>
    </execution>
  </executions>
</plugin>
