Description Paul Webster

You can add sources features for your main feature and example feature, so that developers can install source when installing your plugins.

See our SDK feature.xml/build.properties and one of our regular features for an example.  Setup to generate source features, could be added to your master feature:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/features/org.eclipse.e4.sdk.source.feature/feature.xml?view=co&content-type=text/plain

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/features/org.eclipse.e4.sdk.source.feature/build.properties?view=co

An example feature with template directories for the source features/plugins:

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/e4/org.eclipse.e4.ui/features/org.eclipse.e4.ui.css.feature/

Paul, I have committed the required changes in GIT and tagged them as v20110711-1000. The tag is added to the search map file. I have also updated the e4-category.xml file in org.eclipse.e4.builder project in CVS in order to include the source feature in the E4 Search category.

In order to test whether source bundles generation works I have exported the master feature as deployable feature thus effectively creating a local repository. Using the software update tooling I saw that the source feature is available there.

However, with the latest available 0.12 p2 repo I don't find the search source feature. I have obviously missed to do something. Can you give me a hand in understanding what?

Thanks!

Andrew, can you give them a hand?  They're trying to get their source feature in order.

I think the new source feature just needed to be added to the e4.sdk.source feature so that it gets included in the build.

Thanks, Andrew, this did the trick

As the source bundles are now part of the E4 repo, I am closing this issue as fixed
