    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16220?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12938128#comment-12938128 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-16220:
---------------------------------------------

I think you mean "map" files in eclipse.

And yes, this is why and where I think this repo would make sense but the release producing 

Btw. if we had this submodule instead one could argue you dont need uniform tags across all repositories since the pointers in the submodules would define what is in jbosstools 4.1.0.GA ....but that might be taking it too far since its nice not having to git checkout for different named branches.

> Git 1.8.2 includes an option to have submodules track a branch tip, rather than specific commit IDs.
> {code:title=https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt#L186-L188}
>  "git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the
>    tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit
>    recorded in the superproject's gitlink).
> {code}
> Therefore, while the solution [~dgolovin] has for his https://github.com/dgolovin/jbosstools-submodules project is a decent option, it requires updating to stay current with branch tips. It's therefore only really as useful as it stays current.
> If we can get Git 1.8.2 or newer installed on the Jenkins slaves, we could do a submodule build against whatever branch we wanted - master, 4.2.0.Alpha1x, etc.
