I created a library bundle for commons-lang3 and this works well. I can build the bundle, add a dependency and then use all the classes in this bundle in my plugins.

But I don’t see the sources in the debugger.

What is the simplest way to create a source bundle for this library bundle?

PS: A library bundle is a plugin which contains the original JAR file; Eclipse doesn’t compile the source again, it just adds the existing JAR to the classpath.

    If you add the source files to their own jar then create a META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file with an ‘Eclipse-SourceBundle’ entry which specifies the symbolic name of your library bundle. Below is an example I have from the Felix jar:

    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Eclipse-SourceBundle: org.apache.felix.main;version="4.0.1";roots:="."
    Bundle-Version: 4.0.1
    Bundle-Name: Apache Felix Framework
    Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
    Bundle-Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
    Bundle-SymbolicName: org.apache.felix.main.source
    

    To be able to view the source in Eclipse make sure this source jar is in your PDE target (Windows->Preferences->Plugin Development->TargetPlatform). If your using Eclipse itself as the target platform just drop it in to your eclipse plugins folder.
