Lars,
It's in every EPP package but the Eclipse SDK is not an EPP
package.
So the "pure SDK users/developers" don't generally see what the
rest of the world sees when they install Eclipse.
You can install the org.eclipse.oomph.setup feature from the
release train to see it.
You can imagine, when I was writing the setup for the platform
SDK that it was a nightmare to find the Git repository where
things actually came from, hence an index was produced, easily
accessible to anyone.
And then it was a nightmare to figure where to find an update
site for any particular installable unit in order to produce an
appropriate target platform, to eliminate the first problems with
the "sea of red". Hence an Eclipse IU index was produced, easily
accessible to anyone:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#How_to_find_a_P2_repository_at_Eclipse_using_the_Repository_Explorer
Anyone authoring a target platform won't find a better resource
than this...
Regards,
Ed

Hi Ed,
I don't see "Navigate -> Open Discovered Type..." in
the Eclipse SDK. Is this entry contributed by Oomph or another
plug-in?
Best regards, Lars
To echo Lars' comment let's not rehash this issue again!
But perhaps it continues to be necessary...
You already have two solutions to this problem
- Reading (writing, and maintaining) copious
documentation and script monkeying all that into a
working setup.
- Drag and drop a setup in the installer, or just choose
what's already available in the installer.
But now you want a third "quick fix" option for this in
PDE?
If you want a third solution, you might try "Navigate
-> Open Discovered Type..." This uses the index of all
Git repositories hosted by Eclipse to find in which
repository exists any Java package or any Java class. And
it knows which of these repos have associated Oomph
setups, so you can directly use that setup to include the
source for that package/class in your IDE, properly setup,
with no need for the copious documentation and without a
sea of red.
Note that this dialog has a "?" help button; you might
want to read it.

Hi,
This question are really really frequent and the
answers are far from being trivial to grok. I am sure
we lose a good share of potential contributors at this
exact moment when they need to resolve the "there are
errors everywhere" issue.
I think we really need a solution for it, that
doesn't involve looking for documentation or asking on
the mailing-list.
IMO, the issue lays in PDE failing at being helpful
to users in such cases: users see the missing
dependencies, but there is no quick-fix that help
users to remediate them. I suggest addition of a
"Search from know update-sites and add to
target-platform" quick-fix: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=550078
Cheers,
I'm working on a
code mining bug, i want a add a test case for the
bug
i'm trying to fix first. When i try to open
org.eclipse.jdt.text.tests
i get the following test plugin dependency errors
Missing:
org.eclipse.text.tests
org.eclipse.jface.text.tests
org.eclipse.core.filebuffers.tests
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.tests
org.eclipse.test.performance
I have only checked out the JDT UI repo and imported
the project i
need (org.eclipse.jdt.ui). is there way to install
this missing test
dependencies? How can i proceed ?
Best regards,
Gayan.
