Eclipse Draw2D and GEF Sources, Online Help

When installing the Eclipse IDE for RCP development, it includes the Draw2D and GEF binaries, but not the sources. At least not in the Mac OS X version for Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6(.1).

How to get them: Also download the "Modeling" version of the IDE, and copy the following plugins from that into your RCP IDE's plugins directory:
  • org.eclipse.draw2d.doc.*.jar
  • org.eclipse.draw2d.source_*.jar
  • org.eclipse.gef.doc.*.jar
Yes, this contradicts everything you ever learned about P2, but it seemed the simplest way to get the sources & help.
