[jdt-dev] Fwd: [platform-dev] Why some inner jars?

[Mickael Istria <mistria@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm having a look at how to get test run automatically as part of Tycho build for Platform.
I noticed some Tycho pitfalls ( https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=415701 ), caused by unusual patterns on some bundles: some actually compile code, and package it in a jar file that is then added into the bundle as a Bundle-ClassPath element. See for example https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/platform-sonar/ws/eclipse.jdt.core/org.eclipse.jdt.compiler.tool.tests/target/ (that you can reproduce with "mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=false"). What is the technical reason for this? Is this something we could get rid of?

Cheers,
