Overview
SCM URLs describe the location of source code in a repository. For example, an SCM URL can be used to describe the location of a project in CVS that corresponds to a bundle in Eclipse. The SCM URL format is described here.
In Eclipse 3.6, support was added to PDE/Build to embed source repository information in bundle manifests during the build process and support was added to PDE/UI to import bundles from repositories. Following is an example manifest header describing the location of the source for the org.eclipse.debug.core bundle:
-
Eclipse-SourceReferences: scm:cvs:pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse:org.eclipse.debug.core;tag=v20100820
The 3.6 implementation of importing bundles in PDE/UI is based on two internal extension points and internal API interfaces. During 3.7, PDE would like to create official public API that can be used.
