build target platform sources site (for use with PDE Source Lookup) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-23481 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23481 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: build, target-platform Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM3 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt So that dev and qe can use Fred's PDE source lookup tool [1] to grab source bundles on demand (instead of having to build a target platform locally w/ all the sources), we need to: [1] https://github.com/fbricon/pde.source.lookup/ * build a targetplatform with all the sources * split that repo into two pieces: all the .source files, and everything else * regen the metadata (featureandbundlepublisher) in each new repo OR... * build a targetplatform without the sources * transform the .target file so that each IU ends with .source * verify that this second .target, when resolved, includes the sources of nested features, and those features' plugins' sources too ---- Then once we have the targetplatform.source repo, publish that and verify it works with the PDE Source Lookup plugin: 1. install the PDE source lookup plugin 2. Window > Prefs > Update > Avail Software Sites > Add the new tp.source site 3. for something you want sources, use the plugin and see if it can resolve soources ---- Then, if that works, we can consider adding the new tp.source site into the JBT/devstudio composite sites, along with jbt + tp + central + central tp (or ds + ds tp + central + central tp) as a 5th child site.
