[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11319?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-11319: ---------------------------------------- SourceReferences are read by PDE and allow to use "Import Source" which sets up the repo and import the project for you. It's a cool thing, although I'm not sure it's widely used... Using Git, it's easy to have Eclipse-SourceReference set with Tycho: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=380872 Snippet: {code} <plugin> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId> <artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId> <version>${tycho-version}</version> <configuration> <sourceReferences> <generate>true</generate> </sourceReferences> </configuration> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho.extras</groupId> <artifactId>tycho-sourceref-jgit</artifactId> <version>${tycho-extras-version}</version> </dependency> </dependencies> </plugin> {code} However, I'm more concerned about how this piece of code would behave without Git (ie for DevStudio). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
