Description Gregoire Dupe CLA 2010-05-17 10:24:15 EDT
Hi,

It would be useful to fill the MANIFEST.MF's field Eclipse-SourceReference.

Regards,
Grégoire

The "Eclipse-SourceReference" attribute is used to import a project from a SCM corresponding to an installed bundle.

I believe there is currently only support for CVS.
For MoDisco (which is currently on SVN), we would need a plug-in that extends the org.eclipse.pde.core.bundleImporters extension point for SVN support.

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/UI/SourceReferences.

The page http://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/UI/SourceReferences haven't been updated to give any details about SVN. I assume we will have to wait next year. =>P5

Since all Eclipse projects are moving to Git, I guess it will be supported in place of CVS for which support is being removed from Eclipse.
So, I think we'll be able to solve this when we move to Git.
