Description Andrew Niefer CLA 2010-10-21 15:36:02 EDT 
If a plugin based product wants to include source, one way to do this is to set 

featureList = org.eclipse.my.source
generatedBuildProperties=${builder}/source.properties

where source.properties contains
generate.feature@org.eclipse.my.source=org.eclipse.pde.container.feature


However, the FeatureGenerator will throw an exception because it can't find the org.eclipse.my.source feature.  It should just ignore this if it sees the generate.feature which causes the source feature to be generated later.

This is fixed for features, however the same applies to source plugins as well which has not been done yet.
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2018-12-03 09:07:26 EST 
Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
