I'm new to PDE development.
Assuming the target current project is checked in into one of the
supported source control.
I want to write a plugin with an action to modify one of the files.
How can I programmatically find if the target file (i.e. IFile selected in
the action right click) is under source control and checked in?
How can I force a checkout so I can modify the file in the action code?

Thanks
Yigal

I looked at the EMF generation code and found the solution:

IFile file = <get the IFile of target resource>;
if (file.exists()) {
IStatus status = file.getWorkspace().validateEdit(new IFile [] {
file}, IWorkspace.VALIDATE_PROMPT)
if (status.isOK()) {
// The file can be overwritten, it will be checked out or made
read/write
}
}

Simple!
