Hi,

we are maintaining target platforms for JBT [1] and for JBDS [2] separatelly. The only difference is that TP for JBT includes sources but TP for JBDS doesn't. Consequently, JBT users can install plugins including sources but JBDS users can't. In my opinion both should have sources.

[2] https://devstudio.redhat.com/targetplatforms/jbdevstudiotarget/4.70.0.AM1-SNAPSHOT/REPO/plugins/

If we decide to add sources to JBDS TP, we'd be able to drop one of the TPs entirely and just build one for both JBT and JBDS, saving time and disk.

Is there any reason why sources are not included in JBDS target platform? If not, do we need to maintain target platforms separately? 

If you have an opinion, please comment a jira [3].
