Paul Gier commented on MSOURCES-41:
-----------------------------------
Don, does MSOURCES-42 work for you to resolve this? If not, can you attach a
patch for this? Then I can apply it for you.
> Generate source jars supporting Eclipse Source Bundle format.
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MSOURCES-41
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSOURCES-41
> Project: Maven 2.x Source Plugin
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Affects Versions: 2.0.4
> Environment: Eclipse 3.3+
> Reporter: Don Laidlaw
>
> When developing eclipse plugins, or any OSGi bundle, it is desirable to
> create the source attachments for a project as Eclipse Source Bundles. See
> http://wiki.eclipse.org/Source_Bundles
> A source bundle appears in the target platform (the bundles in the runtime)
> and allows the user to step into the source in debug, view the source, and
> see the javadoc from the source. All without having to download the source
> project. Source bundles differ from source attachments in non OSGi projects
> in that they are part of the target platform, which is resolved dynamically
> at runtime, not at compile time with the classpath.
> It is very easy to extend the maven source plugin to create these source
> bundles. They are identical to the currently generated jar, with the addition
> of a few entries in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file. So source jars usable as
> source bundles are also 100% compatible with what is currently generated.
> I have already done the work and would be happy to contribute this back if
> there is any interest.
