In Simon Roberts (et al) "Complete
Java 2 Certification Study Guide", he gives an example of such a readme.txt. I also asked myself if I should add each and every souce file (and the doc-files...) and I could not realize any sense in that (because the JavaDoc-Files are the description for the source files and should not need to be described themselves).
In Simons example, only the files in the root are described, maybe the sub-dir's in the root, too (I don't have the book at hand).
I have placed the a jar with the complete sources, a jar with the
doc, two jar's for client and server (compiled)
into the jar sent. So I have described
all files in my jar
I cannot say how this effort was honorated, for I'm waiting for the results for 3 weeks, 5 days (hopefully getting the results within the next two days).
Hope it helps
