Remove ‘View Source’ from Adobe Air Debug Context Menu in Flash Builder

Recently I wondered how I can get rid of that “View Source” entry in the context menu of Adobe Air as I wanted to add my own context menu there.

It turned out that I had to remove all the source folder entries in the project’s run configuration (see in the image above).
