Description Brian Bauman CLA 2007-10-29 17:38:37 EDT 
This was discussed as part of a fix for bug 202410.  

The idea is that when looking up source for imported plug-ins that aren't included in the target platform, we should use the source locations we find the that target location.

For example, if I am running the Eclipse SDK the import GEF plug-ins from a separate target location (C:\gef\eclipse\), we should look up source based on the contents of plug-ins from the target location (ex. plug-ins found in C:\gef\eclipse\plugins\).  

The current algorithm is to try to resolve all source look up with the source locations stored in the workspace preferences (user defined and those specified in the target platform).
