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:
I am in favor of the concept here (using an Extension Point). I think that you should try to get together with the Mylar people though to get an idea of what they are doing. I think an idea was for them to define these extension points, and then we would add the code to use it.

An example issue is to picture a scenario where I have plugins for Bugzilla, JIRA and some other issue tracker all installed. Which one does Subclipse interact with? There has to be some kind of project-level configuration for this, as there is for team providers. Mylar is working on defining that stuff.
