Create Target Platform *with* source [message #692758]

I am trying to have buckminster generate a target platform WITH sources into a manually prepared, empty, and active tp.

from the buckybook I would have thought that defining cquery advisor nodes for the tp-bound bundles with "mutableLevel=REJECT" and "sourceLevel=DESIRE" (or REQUIRE) would do the trick. I have played through all the permutations of these two settings. to no avail. I either get an empty tp, or one with binaries only.

can anyone help me with this issue, please Sad

Use buckminster.download.source=true when you import. You can set this
property in the cquery.

That's brilliant, that question came up for us at exactly the time this was posted. A couple of minor points:

(1) That property affects all the components in the dynamically built target platform. Is there a way to request the source for just selected components?

(2) I did two tests, both materializing a component into a new workspace that was empty except for a manually prepared, empty, and active tp. The results were a little surprising:

For the first test, I did not have buckminster.download.source=true. Having materialized, I then did the materialize a second time, and on this occasion buckminster.download.source=true was set. The result the second time was, as expected, that the source jars were downloaded.

For the second test, I did have buckminster.download.source=true set from the beginning. I materialized once.

I then compared what was materialized, expecting the results to be the same. In fact I got:
Only in /scratch/test-source2/tp/plugins/: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.change.source_2.5.1.v20100907-1643.jar
Only in /scratch/test-source2/tp/plugins/: org.eclipse.emf.edit.source_2.6.0.v20100914-1218.jar

Those two components weer only materialized in the second test, not the first. This is not particularly a problem for me, but does it indicate some obscure bug, or problem with the platform? This is using the Helios repositories.

Thanks
Matthew

To answer the first of my questions above:

>> (1) That property affects all the components in the dynamically built target platform. Is there a way to request the source for just selected components?

A: To materialize source jars for only selected components, you need to create advisor node(s) for those components, and set the buckminster.download.source=true property just in those Advisor Node(s).
