Description Jalpesh CLA 2002-09-03 14:01:33 EDT 
Currently when I want to attach source to an external jar, I can only select 
jar files which contain source. In my case, my source files are not jar'ed up 
but are in a folder. It would be nice if eclipse would also allow users to be 
able to select directories for source rather than just picking archive files.

Thanks,
Jalpesh.

You should soon be able to use external library folders as well, once the 
platform allows to mount external folders. You would then simply use this 
mounted folder on your classpath.

Need to double check scenario would work once platform mount points support is 
in (deltas etc...)

Sorry, I misunderstood your original problem.
We do not plan to allow attaching expanded sources to libraries for 2.1.
Ramifications would be quite involving in term of refreshing changes to 
indivual source files.

Deferring. Nice to have though.

Hell, I'd take it if it required a manual refresh. If that's the hard issue, 
why not do it this way? Right now to make a change, I have to 
unpack/edit/repack/run.

If the IDE would allow pointing to sources that are out of the normal project 
tree, that would do it also.

Moved source attachment code from JarPackageFragmentRoot to PackageFragmentRoot 
and changed SourceMapper to find source in directories.

Verified.
