[Subclipse-dev] PATCH: new extension point for issue tracking integration

Hi all, 

I've modified the subclipse ui because
we had a requirement to integrate with the Jira issue tracker, 
so that the commit dialog in subclipse
actually queries for and shows the Jira issues. Now, in order to
not pollute Subclipse with Jira dependencies,
I did NOT add all this code to the subclipse ui plugin, 
but instead created a new extension
point: org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui.bugtrackingui, which
third party plugins can use to contribute
a UI to the commit dialog, like this:

   <extension
         point="org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.ui.bugtrackingui">
      <bugtraqui
         
  class="com.dst.hps..to.jirasubclipse.ui.JiraIsuesCommitArea"
         
  type="jira"/>
   </extension>

The class is expected to implement the
IBugTrackingUIProvider
interface:

public
interface
IBugTrackingUIProvider {

        /**
         *
Used
by
the
bugtrackingprovider
extension
point
to
allow
3rd
party
         *
bugtracking
ui
in
the
commit
dialog
         *
@param
parent
               SWT
Composite
to
plug
in
to
         *
@param
properties
       SVN
properties
or
null
if
not
set
         */
        void
addBugTrackingArea(Composite parent, ProjectProperties properties);
        
        /**
         *
@return
null
if
a
valid
issue
is
present,
or
error
message
when
something
is
wrong
         */
        String
getMessage();
        
        /**
         *
@return
the
selected/entered
issue

         */
        String
getIssue();
}

In order to allow for a different ui
contribution for different issue trackers I've added a new bugtraq:type
property to the list of understood bugtraq: properties.
The value of bugtraq:type is used to
locate the appropriate UI extension. ProjectProperties was modified to
add support for this new property and the CommitDialog was modified to
use a contribution if there is one, or do what it used to do if there is
not.
