[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11319) Use Eclipse-SourceReferences

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11319?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12759668#comment-12759668 ] 

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).
