Description Dejan Glozic CLA 2002-05-06 13:19:16 EDT
Eclipse 2.0 needs to have source in alternative locations (not alongside the 
plug-ins). PDE needs to support this alternative locations (using a preference 
page) and also add a fixed location at ECLIPSE_HOME/src. When looking for 
source, the following algorithm will be used:

1) All the locations specified in the preference page, starting with 
ECLIPSE_HOME/src
2) As a sibling of the JAR file (as today)

Alternative locations can be modified. The default location (ECLIPSE_HOME/src) 
cannot be removed or altered.
