| [tycho-user] Hiding Source Features in Custom Target Platform |
Hello everybody, with your help, I finally got my custom target platform build to work (see my recent posting on this mailinglist). But there's still one issue I would like to solve: Is there a way to hide source features from the user when building the final update site project with tycho? When configuring a target platform in Eclipse using default p2 locations, such as http://downloads.eclipse.org/releases/indigo, only one feature is shown to the user for each element (e.g. feature for org.eclipse.rcp, but not for org.eclipse.rcp.source). If the user selects the option "Include source if available", the resolution process downloads both features and their listed plugins. In contrary, two features are shown to the user in my case (see attached sample projects), and the user explicitely needs to select both of them to gain source code access. The option "Include source if available" seems to be ignored in my case. Proceed as follows to reproduce the issue with the attached sample projects: 1) Extract attached zip file into a new and clean Eclipse Indigo workspace. 2) Subsequently run Maven Install on the projects; Maven Package suffices on com.example.repository. 3) Now grab the result from com.example.repository/target/repository and place it to a webspace of your choice. 4) Create a new Eclipse Indigo Workspace. 5) Configure Target Platform to include local Eclipse Indigo installation directory, plus the repository generated above. Do not select the source feature in the first step, and do not activate the option "Include source if available". 6) Create a new RCP project (e.g. Hello RCP demo) and import the package org.slf4f in its MANIFEST.MF. 7) Inspect that you have access to the com.example.logging jar, but not its sources. 8) To gain access to the sources, the only way is to select the source feature in the target platform setup. Activating the option "Include source if available" does not help. Do you guys have any hints? I appreciate any help you can give me. Regards Timo
