3rd-party JARs I do version, because I don't build them myself - I
don't have everything required to build them in my repository, so it
wouldn't be covered by my little rule above.

One could also use a vendor branch (and that JAR vendor's source), I
suppose, to build those components. But for my project, all I need or
want to deal with is the JAR shipped by the vendor.

For anything that I build from my own sources, I don't version the
compiled classfiles.
