Comment #3 on issue 856 by janne.t.harkonen: Robot sources not packaged
with robotframework.jar
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=856
Which kind of debugging are you talking about?
A couple of points:
1) even though RF jar is available via maven central repo, it is not
actually built using maven since, to our knowledge, maven does not support
the kind of packaging needed to build standalone Jython applications.
2) the actual Java code you would get in rf-sources.jar would consists of
three glue classes that allow using RF from Java, the core logic of RF is
all Python and again, maven is a build tool for Java applications, and does
not support creating source jars that would include Python code.
3) AFAIK, as soon as we enter the interpreted Python code, the Java IDEs
would be completely lost anyway so I do not see how having access to the
Python source would help in debugging.
