[pde-dev] distributing jdt build prefs with sources via a source code lo

[John Cortell <john.cortell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question on the topic of distributing source with a plugin via a
source code location, as specified in

  

http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/preference_pages/source_code_locations.htm

Basically, I would like for an end-user of our Eclipse-based product to
easily create a buildable/debuggable project of a plugin that we
distribute, much in the same way Eclipse SDK users can do so for the
org.eclipse.* plugins--i.e.,

   File > Import... > Plug-in Development > Plug-ins
and Fragments

I've actually got this all working, but the project the end user gets
doesn't have the jdt prefs that are in the original project. I was hoping
that the user would end up with a project that has the same:

   .settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs

that I use during development of the plugin. Am I missing something or is
this just not possible?
