I have a created a single plug-in called "net.sf.paperclips". All it contains is a "lib" directory which, in turn, contains net.sf.paperclips_1.0.2.jar and net.sf.paperclips.ui_1.0.1.jar that you (PaperClips) have provided. Adding a dependency on net.sf.paperclips in my printing plug-in that relies on it works just fine.
But I'm having trouble creating a Source plug-in so I can see the Javadoc in my IDE. I've tried various methods attempting to follow various examples, and none of them work. Do you have any ideas as to how this can be done?
Thanks very much.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I would like to help you but I will not have time in the near future to do this. If you would like to tackle this and then submit a patch it would be most helpful.
The other option is to import the PaperClips project source directly into your workspace--you should not have problems locating source with this method. :)

Normally you would want to add the individual PaperClips binary jars to the target platform rather than creating a project in your workspace.
I'm investigating how Eclipse discovers source code for each plugin--I'll get back to you when I know more.
Based on what I've read, seems like the most common tactic is to create a source plug-in. Thanks for looking into it.
Sorry to bother you again, but have you been able to find out any more on building source plug-ins? Thanks for your help.
Should I give up?
