Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-8838:
---------------------------------------

> And yes if #b works and it is not limited by other features saying I can't install this source bundle because I don't have a perfect match on the feature then i'm fine too

I produced twice the same update-sites with this source-feature Tycho plugin. Will try various configurations for installations, and report whether everything is fine.

> Something to be reported against eclipse bugzilla ?

I actively report progress and issues met on this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=345234 , this issue included. Tycho guys are now aware we are giving a try to it. They'll probably pay attention on feedback since we are probably the first ones to try this in a real case.



As for getting it to work (currently):
* Remove committed source features
* In each eclipse-feature pom.xml add the plugin invocation as explained in bug
* in each eclipse-feature folder, add a "sourceTemplateFeature"
* in site.xml, replace name of source feature. For a given feature A.feature, the source feature is now called A.feature.source.
Tested and working for "common" module.

> As per example done in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=344515 and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Minerva#Source, the rest of JBT needs source features/plugins.
