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:
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.
