[Pydev-code] Why are classes packaged into a jar inside the jar

[Andreas P. <an...@fr...>]

Hi,

I was exploring how to get an 'sdk' bundle set up for PyDev and have the 
necessary source plugins and features now. Unfortunately it seems that 
Eclipse does not cope very well with the way PyDev plugins setup their 
classes. In particular having the class files inside a jar thats itself 
packed into the actual plugin jar does not allow Eclipse to automatically 
connect class files and sources.

I've adjusted one of the plugins to not create such a jar-in-a-jar and for 
that plugin Eclipse can lookup sources for the classes of the plugin just 
fine.

However before creating a pull request that changes this in all plugins I 
wanted to check wether there's a particular reason for doing this that I'm 
not seeing.

Andreas
