Sorry for brining confusion - the newest WTP adapter does it the *right* way by having a good default source lookup delegate (I just didnt realize that this would actually show up in the launch configuration under the "Default").
 
As Snjezana said, our AS adapter had workarounds for bugs that were  in the old  WTP Adapter which now has been fixed so the new AS adapter matches the WTP adapter in behavior for this specific thing.
 
And yes, adding AS source distribution an easier way would be good - but for that to work we need some kind of co-release with AS that has the src available so if you point to such a thing we could attach it as source automatically. My understanding was that such a thing doesn't yet exist...do you know of one ?
 
My best bet is that AS 6 should have maven artifacts for all its .jars so this should be much easier done for that.
 
That of course leaves the question what to do for AS 4 and AS 5
