Description Alex Blewitt

PDE has support for parsing Eclipse-SourceReferences to point to an arbitrary Maven SCM URL.

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

e.g. 

Eclipse-SourceReferences: scm:cvs:pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse:org.eclipse.debug.core;tag=v20100427

We should add something like this to the EGit/JGit bundles:

Eclipse-SourceReferences: scm:git:http://egit.eclipse.org/egit.git

Doing this seems to be really simple now with CBI / Tycho, look at what we did for TM: https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/c/11229/

Generating them through CBI/Tycho is supported since Tycho 0.16.0:

Eclipse-SourceReferences are generated for EGit since a long time.
There is no simple way to generate them for the JGit bundles since we can't use Tycho to build them since we need both Maven and OSGi artifacts which isn't supported by Tycho.

You could hard-code the Eclipse-SourceReference in the JGit Manifest.MF without the tag, though.
