Re: [tycho-user] tycho-source-feature plugin should not force binary inc

Yeah I get the goal - the challenge I guess is just that often
a packaging feature will include one that has small differences in qualifier etc. preventing
the sdk feature to be installed.

Thats at least what I've experienced too many times over the year which is why I prefer
being able to install source that is more or less correct than no source at all.
