Re: [che-dev] Simplify mounting of project sources to plugins

[Mario <mario.loriedo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lukas we may be able to make the source code path configurable eventually. But that looks tricky and has a few side effects (i.e. IDE and LS sync). So I would rather split the problem in 2 distinct issues:

- hide complexity to users that don't want to bother where the source code is located (the issue you are working on)

- make the source code path configurable (new issue)

Anyway thanks for starting the discussion and I have voted for one of your proposals.

I'm reading that as that it is better to hardcode the root of the
projects to some "well-known" path. That way we can ensure that the URIs
will have a better chance at being the same.

As one of the crowd who's lacking the technical expertise in the
minutiae of the IDE<->plugin<->server interactions, I'm glad I asked :)
