[egit-dev] Fwd: [Bug 326926] New: API to configure and import SCM URLs
This should be something of interest to EGit developers. Basically, it allowed for an Eclipse-SourceReferences: to contain a Maven SCM URL and permit files to be checked out from that tag. This would allow (for example) a bundle to declare back to where it originated, like the pom, but that follows the bundle after compilation/deployment.
Since Maven now has Git support, we should probably see if we can hook into that format for representing Git URLs, then be able to import a bundle's source code by right-clicking and doing 'checkout from...' to acquire the source for that bundle.

PDE requires an API from Team to materialize workspace projects from SCM URLs. SCM URLs are URIs that refer to projects/source code in different repositories 
(similar in concept to "project set format" files).

SCM URLs can be specified in bundle Manifests to refer to source code
associated with a bundle. Having support from team to materialize projects in the workspace allows users to easily import the source code associated with 
bundles as workspace projects.
The following WIKI page describes the current and desired API/ implementation: 

  http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/Importing_SCMURLs
PDE originally provided this function in 3.6 using internal code and extension 
points. During 3.7, we'd like to make a public API to allow other team
providers to participate.

There is also some relevant history on bug 195729.
