I have rich client platform project. To ramble through source code I have download from cvs several modules and binded the folder location with the osgi bundles which eclipse added to referenced libraries.
The problem is in the following: every time I start eclipse it forgets my source code location settings and I have to set them again. How to fix it?
Probably that would be helpful for other eclipse rcp ramblers :). I have occasionally solved this problem. The way I was doing source file binding is probably broken for rcp dependencies and unless eclipse ide team fix it such way is unusable.
Good news there is much better solution – using source plugins (or osgi bundles what is the same). Once you have a source bundle you may add it to your target definition and enjoy source code navigation capabilities that eclipse ide provides.
However if you do not have source bundle, but have source code for some plugin you may create a source bundle. I dont know, if there is some tools for such task, I have managed creatinh my own source bundle taking an existing source bundle as an example and replacing plugin specific data with my own.
