RTC SDK packages are missing dependant Eclipse platform library source jars
Where can I get the appropriate versions of the Eclipse platform library sources (packed as jars) corresponding to the included Eclipse binaries in the RTC SDK releases?

I don't know how Eclipse ships its source, I assume there is a description on Eclipse.org
Once you set up the RTC SDK Target Platform as explained in the RTC Extensions Workshop, you add the RTC SDK to it and then you likely add the Eclipse SDK to the Target Platform as well. And then add the sources to the Java Search.

This is exactly what I usually do (i.e. following the workshop instructions).
In fact, this is a pretty old open question I haven't managed to resolve so far.
Therefore I've decided to ask again.
The issue is that RTC SDK folder contains the Eclipse binaries.
On the other hand if I want to have the Eclipse sources (jars with file names corresponding to the binary jars, suffixed with "src" or "source"), I have to add the sources and their binaries to the target content.
This would introduce duplication of the binaries (one time added by the RTC SDK and another time by myself), which causes issues.
On the other hand it is difficult to add only the source jars because:
- the jars are a lot
- the versions of the jars in the Eclipse SDK may differ from the ones in the RTC SDK
- One Eclipse binary may have a different name than the one in RTC SDK.
I am afraid, it is still not clear to me how to set up a plug-in development environment with Eclipse Core and platform, SWT, RTC SDKs with sources and documentation :-(
Sorry, I do only know what the workshop needs. I have no need to look at the source. I assume you can download an Eclipse with source similar to the RTC SDK and add that to the target platform, but I don't know for sure. |
One other answer
From where can I get the source jars of the Eclipse binaries bundled in the RTC SDK provided by IBM, so that I can have them in the java search?
