Tycho can automatically generate source bundles as part of the build
when the pom.xml of a bundle specifies that.

We have the same challenge for the framework features as well. The
Builds framework is not particularly useful without the Hudson
connector, to leverage the full potential of the Tasks framework
repository connectors are needed... To address that we display a
message that prompts users to easily install connectors through
discovery:
346765: show link to install connector on blank builds view
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=346765
We have also discussed extending discovery to suggest features to the
user based on their installation. If a user has EGit and R4E installed
for instance an automatic prompt would suggest to install the Git
Versions Connector to bridge the already provisioned features.
