----------------------------------------
Why having split repositories for data and src? Why not simply include sources in the
aggregated TP site directly? We have the options to do it, and it has been requested
multiple times already. Then it can be used by target platform/regular PDE lookup and by
this additional lookup.
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 [2]),
we need to:
[1]
https://github.com/fbricon/pde.source.lookup/
[2]
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/building/targ...
* 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 so that all the
features/plugins are uncategorized
OR...
* build a targetplatform without the sources
* transform the .target file so that each IU ends with .source
* build the target platform repo from the new .target file
* verify that sources repo 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.
