[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16574) File->Maven->Checkout Maven Project from SCM - results in error unless scm URL has "scm:null:" prefix

[Fred Bricon (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16574?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12944435#comment-12944435 ] 

Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-16574:
-------------------------------------

m2e doesn't come with SCM connectors by default. They're semi-maintained, outside of eclipse.org (on [Github|https://github.com/tesla/m2eclipse-egit] actually).

As a workaround, you should click on the "find more SCM connectors in the m2e marketplace" link, and pick m2e-egit.

I guess we could :
* add a more explicit error message in m2e, pointing at the same link, but that's an upstream concern
* add m2e-egit to the JBDS installer (as it already depends on m2e and egit)
* maybe add m2e-egit to JBoss Central for JBT users.

[~maxandersen], [~nickboldt], [~burrsutter] WDYT?
