Looks like Tycho decided to include entire project source tree, complete with all temporary build files into the sources bundle.
Possibly to do with the source.. = . in the http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git/tree/bundles/org.eclipse.osgi.services/build.properties PW
(In reply to comment #1) > Possibly to do with the source.. = . in the > http://git.eclipse.org/c/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git/tree/bundles/org. > eclipse.osgi.services/build.properties yes, that's why. the project root is declared as source root. No straightforward way to make tycho ignore this "source" folder. Looking at the project, it has class files checked in to SCM and sources checked in as source.zip. I wonder why it can't be built from source just like other plugins.
(In reply to comment #2) > I wonder why it can't be built from source just like other plugins. bug 189371 comment 6 says it "wouldn't compile"... whatever that means. Unless someone explains why it can't be compiled from source I would prefer not to perpetuate workarounds in tycho.
it seems that Krzysztof did some research on building it from source in bug 385970
