Cant find org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group for eclipse-2025-09

[MarcelRueedi]

Hello,

We are building a target platform repository for the Eclipse RCP Application we are developing using the org.eclipse.cbi.p2repo.aggregator.
We have upgraded the repo from https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2025-03 to https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2025-09

      <repositories location="https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2025-09">
        <features name="org.eclipse.equinox.sdk.feature.group"/>
        <features name="org.eclipse.rcp.feature.group"/>
        <features name="org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group"/>
        <features name="org.eclipse.e4.core.tools.feature.feature.group"/>
      </repositories>

But it looks like the org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group isn't in the repository anymore. I can't find in the https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.37/R-4.37-202509050730.
Sorry if this is not the proper place, but I don't know where else to ask where we can find the source features.

Best regards
Marcel Rüedi

Source features (not bundles) have been completely removed. For information on it, see e.g.:

• https://www.eclipse.org/lists/simrel-dev/msg00092.html
• Remove all source features from all contributions eclipse-simrel/simrel.build#1039
• Where have all the sources gone? eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#3448

The specific source feature org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group has been removed here:

• Simrel updates for Eclipse and Equinox for 2025-09 M1 eclipse-simrel/simrel.build#933

Thanks for you answer.
I'm now just a little bit insecure how we should handle this to get the sources into our setup. As I said we are developing a RCP Application using a Target Platform for which we are aggregating all the bundles needed into a p2 repo that we are hosting internally. The eclipse bundle we are aggregating with the org.eclipse.cbi.p2repo.aggregator. But with the org.eclipse.rcp.source.feature.group gone, do we really need list all the source bundles as bundles ?

Your advice is much appreciated.

The SimRel aggregator uses the Include Sources option to ensure that as many bundle sources are possible/available are aggregated.
