The reason why I think that some bundles may come without companion source 
bundles is, that they may be just "warping" regular JARs with additional OSGi 
meta-data - the icu bundle could be such a thing. Another doubt I have is 
whether one Eclipse source bundle always corresponds to one binary bundle, like 
in Maven. I believe to remember having seen one source bundle covering multiple 
binary bundles. Finally, I do not know how to force Eclipse to download source 
bundles if they are not part of a feature. Eclipse update sites usually don't 
seem to be easily accessible with a browser, which would allow to manually 
download locate and download source bundles.
