'sourceTemplatePlugin' seems no longer to be needed -> remove
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2012-05-14 09:44:27 EDT
Kim, can you confirm that this is no longer needed, since we now generate the source bundle for each bundle?
Comment 2 David Williams CLA 2012-05-15 22:33:01 EDT
It probably depends, on many things, that I've never quite understood, but you probably need either sourceTemplatePlugin or a sourceTemplateBundle (depending on if you mean for the feature's "branding plugin" or the actual source jar that's generated, if you need any "customization" (and, I've never been sure what's done automatically, and what's not, such as if source automatically gets about.html?) 

Here's what "help" says: 

http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.pde.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fpde_individual_source.htm


sourceTemplatePlugin vs sourceTemplateBundle

Previously, the contents of the sourceTemplatePlugin directory of the original feature was copied into the source plug-in. When generating individual source bundles, this remains true only for the branding source bundle (see above).

For all the other source bundles, the contents of a sourceTemplateBundle directory will be copied over.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2012-05-16 03:00:08 EDT
A right. We still have the source features. I guess during 4.3 we should try to figure out what's really needed and get rid of the other stuff.
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2012-07-19 05:19:09 EDT
/main-feature/sourceTemplateFeature
/main-feature/sourceTemplatePlugin
are both needed.
