Details

Description:
There are 200 source plug-ins coming from 10 source features included in this package, which are not needed for a normal release version of Eclipse.

In my opinion only the source feature
org.eclipse.platform.source
is interesting for an OSGI developer and the source features
* org.eclipse.pde.source
* org.eclipse.rcp.source
* org.eclipse.e4.rcp
are interesting for an RCP developer. Please think about creating separate Arch Linux packages for these use cases. E.g. a C/C++ developer using the eclipse-cdt package do not need these source features.

Please add the following function to the PKGBUILD file to remove all source plug-ins and source features:

~~~
# remove source features and plug-ins
prepare() {
rm eclipse/features/*.source_*
rm eclipse/plugins/*.source_*
}
~~~


Additional info:
* package version 4.3.2-2

Steps to reproduce:
See files in folder /usr/share/eclipse/{plugins|features}

I'll think about splitting the sources into another package.

It's just a quarter of the whole size, so meh.

Causes problems when done, see  FS#40981 . Won't implement.
