Lars Heinemann commented on JBIDE-23481:
----------------------------------------

I can see only benefits in having the sources available directly...regardless if in JBT and/or JBDS. It helps developers extend stuff more easily.

> 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/target_platforms/target_platforms_for_consumers.adoc#build-target-platform-bootstrapped-from-zip
> * 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.
