Currently, the OTDT ships without any source bundles.
This is particularly unhappy when you start from an Eclipse SDK incl.
a source bundle for the JDT/Core, and once you install the OTDT the
JDT/Core no longer has sources attached.

We need this before EclipseCon!

After a series of trial-and-error this has been resolved for 2.1M6.

What doesn't work:
- Just specifying generate.feature@... in the OTDT feature produced absolutely no result (nor an error message)
- generating a source feature with the same name as the branding plugin (org.eclipse.objectteams.otdt.source) produced no source plugin for the branding plugin (nor an error message)

What works:
- Manually defining a source feature (with feature.xml and all) and explicitly listing all included source plugins both in feature.xml *and* build.properties.

While working on these changes I wondered whether our custom OTDT build interferes with some of PDEBuild's black magic. Maybe we should split the OTDT-Build step into OTDT-Build and OT-Test steps, maybe then we can discard our customizations and use a standard build.
