I have previously seen file: work in tycho for p2, so I'm hopeful that
I could avoid http.

However, before I go there, can I ask you for a nuance about 'm2e
doesn't support embed-dependencies'? Could it possibly be that
'inline=true' is an exception to that state of affairs? I don't care
about seeing source code, just about debugging with pde.
