Which Feature Contains the Sources for SWT and JFace in 4.39+?

[ingomohr]

Over the last year the .source features that contained the SWT and JFace source had been removed from the Eclipse updatesites.

We have a Tycho-built Eclipse IDE (to automatically contain inhouse-made features, too) based on the current version 4.39, and we use p2 mirrors of:

https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2026-03/ and
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.39/

as base.

I can see the jface.source bundle on the mirrored updatesite(s), but I don't know which feature I need to add to the eclipse.product file to add the sources to the Eclipse build.

Can you give me the id/name of that feature?
Or is there another approach now to include sources in an Eclipse build?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, I should have created this in the discussions, not the issues.

You should have a look at this issue, where that topic has been discussed: eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3448

In short: there are no more source features. You probably have a target platform for your product, in which you can enable the inclusion of sources (see this comment: eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3448 (comment)).

Thank you @HeikoKlare and @merks for the links and the snippets/screenshots!

Adding this to the product pom did the trick for our build ✅:

	<plugin>
		<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
		<artifactId>tycho-p2-director-plugin</artifactId>
		<version>${tycho-version}</version>
		<executions>
			<execution>
				<id>materialize-products</id>
				<goals>
					<goal>materialize-products</goal>
				</goals>
				<configuration>
					<installSources>true</installSources>
				</configuration>
			</execution>
		</executions>
	</plugin>

(We use Tycho 5.0.2.)
