Description David Williams CLA 2012-04-26 10:03:20 EDT 
This bug is to track follow up work from bug 374428. 

I think I've removed anything related to "source builds" from the actual build and download pages, but there still is lots of "dead code" in eclipse builder related to source builds, that I think should be cleaned up at some point. But, less urgent, and should be done during a "quiet period" so as to not risk breaking the build.

I haven't removed everything, but did some tonight. Part of this "old code" came to light via bug 391273, so rather than modify dead code, thought it best to go ahead and remove it. I removed the srcBuild directory from eclispebuilder and removed all snippets of code in eclipseBuilder that referred to it. 

http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.eclipsebuilder.git/commit/?id=97b14d69d4e9bc9ae97b33b801f41012d76e67ed

There are still targets etc., for "sourceBuild" so will leave this bug open and deal with those at another (quiet) time.

Actually did most of the work here ... but ... will close as 'won't fix' since we no longer use "eclipsebuilder' and if ever resurrected, it'd still have that bit of extra unused code in it.
