             Summary: [devdoc] document sources in target platform zip & use of PDE Source Lookup feature
                 Key: JBIDE-23510
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23510
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build, target-platform
    Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM3
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Assignee: Nick Boldt
             Fix For: 4.4.2.Final


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.
