| Re: [ecf-dev] Why does the httpclient4 feature require source	bundles? | 
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the offer of assistance.  I can't take this on right away, so 
I've opened up bug

Hi Scott,
Sure, I can help. The first step is to create a specific source 
feature for the feature in question and then move the source bundles 
over to that feature. That way, the p2.core feature (and users of it) 
would not automatically include the source. Next step would be for the 
feature that really needs the source (the sdk feature?) to include 
your new source feature. Or perhaps there's a p2.core.source feature? 
In that case it would be the natural place for inclusion of your 
source feature.

Hi Thomas,
I checked the git commit records, in the comment I refer to this bug 
comment:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409787#c27
And as I recall there was also a lot of discussion at the time on 
source inclusion in bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=419647
Upshot:  It may not have been the best decision for the general case 
(non-Eclipse products), but at the time I believe I was thinking of 
the Eclipse SDK product needs and trying to get a platform milestone 
completed.
With some consulting/assistance from you on the Buckminster needs on 
our end (e.g. including these source bundles in our repo, even if not 
in the feature) I would be willing to work with the SDK folks to 
change things in a future version (ECF has plans for a 3.9.0 release 
as soon as OSGi RS/RSA specs are final).
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
I have a hard time understanding why any product needs to contain 
sources from Apache projects. If they were offered in a separate 
feature, yeah perhaps, but still, this is not Eclipse source and I 
don't see any other features including external sources.

Hi,
I have some problems packaging a product that uses the p2.core 
feature. It includes the 
org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.httpclient4.feature which in turn 
includes both source and binary features for a group of org.apache 
bundles. Why does this feature include the source bundles? 
I think that this was how David/Platform had to configure things 
with Tycho in order to get source bundles included for the SDK. See 
[1] for the coordination bug wrt feature refactoring.
You also might want to ask David Williams directly (or on 
cross-projects, whichever you are most comfortable with).

It's really problematic because I can't get rid of them unless I 
create a copy of the feature and then also create copy of the 
p2.core feature that includes it.

Thomas Hallgren
