             Summary: Add api in server needed for source lookup
                 Key: JBIDE-15392
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15392
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: maven, server
            Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
            Assignee: Snjezana Peco


As uncovered in https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central/pull/128/files#L5L120 we got a problem with source lookup code always having to play catchup with server changes.

We need to define a stable api that can be used here.

lets outline what api is actually needed and then subjiras for the specifics.

For me it looks like server lookup needs a few things:

0. know exact version of server

1. know the file structure of a certain server

2. get dir or directories that contain jar that is the "runtime"

My guess is that #2 might just be sufficient for source code lookup.

Any comments ?
