Maven clean package produces two jars

I packaged my java application using mvn clean package. This produced two jars in my target directory - one is myapp-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar and the other is myapp-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar.

Can someone explain the difference between these two?

If I want to deploy my application to a server which one should I use?

myapp-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT-sources.jar contains all your source code along with your project, during development it is easier to debug when the sources are attached. It is most likely generated by the maven-source-plugin. You will likely find it configured in your pom.xml. When deploying, use the other jar: myapp-0.1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar
