PDE Source Lookup

Proof of Concept to automatically fetch missing source bundles from enabled p2 repositories, when opening a bundle jar (similar to m2e). It's also possible to fetch all sources from the Plug-in Dependencies classpath container, with a right-click and selecting Download Bundle Sources.

Sources are cached to ~/.eclipse/org.jboss.tools.pde.sourcelookup.core/sources. That folder can be changed in Preferences > Plug-in Development > Source Lookup.

Because the Plug-in Dependencies classpath container doesn't keep new attached sources on workspace restart, the PDE Source Lookup plugin automatically reattaches thoses sources upon restart. This behavior can be disabled in Preferences > Plug-in Development > Source Lookup.
