[jbosstools-dev] Do any project requires some source or SDK in its dependencies?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

> I would suspect some projects may require some of these for test plugins (just a guess).  For the integration platform, I've been considering creating an additional TP that would be used for testing (i.e. one to build the distributables and one to build the tests).  The test TP would simply extend the core TP with those additional plugins required for testing.

What kind of testing ? if just for viewing source for debugging then P2/Tycho already support that "natively" for those bundles that follows the standard naming convention with a .source postfix.

Thus nothing extra is needed for that case unless there is something else than source needed (I don't know of any?) or for those (hopefully few ones) that does not follow this now age old convention.

Do you have an usecase outside getting the source for debugging ?
