Hi all,

I don't understand a certain behaviour of the "Import Plug-In as Source
Project" function (right-click a plug-in in the Plug-Ins view, then choose
Import As --> Source Project. If I do this with, say, org.eclipse.core.jobs, I
get a source project the way I expect it to be. If I try the same thing with
one of my plug-ins, I get a new plug-in project, but without the sources -
there's a jar that contains the compiled classes and that's about it. Also, I
can't open the source of the classes contained in my plug-ins. The source
plug-in (generated by PDE build) does contain the sources - I can see that
when executing "Import Plug-In as Source Project", it generates a project with
a src folder and all included plug-ins below. I'd say there's some missing
link between the source plug-in and the rest of the world, but where might
that be? I don't really understand what might be missing - do you have any
suggestions where to look?

Thanks
Volker

Hi Volker,

I encountered exactly the same problem with 3rd-party-bundles from
springsource bundle repository. Let me know if you find out anything...

I was able to reproduce the issue with a minimal example, and I think it's a
bug --> 298799. Feel free to smash the documentation I've failed to notice to
the back of my head. :-)

Thanks

It's very simple, once you know the details - the feature has to include the
source plug-in with unpack="true" set for old-style source plug-ins. Details
are in the bug.
