When you manually attach sources to jars from the "Plug-in Dependencies" classpath container, they are reset after the workbench is restarted. Fortunately, https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/pde-source-lookup makes it bearable by automatically reattaching the missing sources. My guess is the "Plug-in Dependencies" container's state need to be serialized on disk, after classpath entries have been updated, so it can be restored on restart. This is how m2e's Maven classpath container works.
It's frustrating to require an external plugin to fix that. Is there any chance to have it fixed by 4.7 ?
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.

Re-opening as I hear from a client that this problem still exists.
AFAIK the pde source lookup has been migrated to PDE. Philipp, can you still reproduce with the latest release?
The problem persists in 2021-12.
(In reply to Lars Vogel from comment #6) > AFAIK the pde source lookup has been migrated to PDE. You mean the same feature as my plugin has been implemented natively in PDE? I was not aware of that, do you have some link?
And as far as I could tell the pde-source-lookup plugin only supports reattaching, if the jars in the Plug-in Dependencies have attached sources, is that correct?
pde-source-lookup reattaches sources if it finds matching source jars from known locations (local .m2 repo or ~/.eclipse/org.jboss.tools.pde.sourcelookup.core/sources)
