Description John Arthorne CLA 2012-05-18 09:10:56 EDT 
We have a number of branding bundles with no Java code which we are generating source bundles for. We should add generateSourceBundle=false in these cases to avoid shipping an extra unneeded jar. Here are some I noticed:

org.eclipse.cvs
org.eclipse.jdt
org.eclipse.sdk.tests
org.eclipse.rcp
Comment 1 David Williams CLA 2013-04-29 07:54:34 EDT 
Elsewhere, it has been argued that even for branding bundles, we want 'source', just so users can import it, and look at it. See bug 400733. 

Seems either this bug, or bug 400733 should be marked as "invalid"?
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2013-04-29 13:09:51 EDT 
Having the extra bundle just to support importing source seems unnecessary because you can always import source from git. However I don't feel strongly enough to argue the point.
