Walter, yes, you can use a plugin like EGit or SVN Team Provider to source control the resources within a F5 project. You can use the source control plugin perspective, the "Resource" perspective, or once a repository is configured, the "Team" context menu within the F5 perspective. Please note though, resources (iRules and ILX files) don't appear on the local file system (to be source controlled) until an edit buffer is first opened for the resource. Also, the F5 plugin doesn't yet include facilities for importing from a repository into an F5 project - resources either originate from a connected Big-IP or by creating a new resource via Eclipse.
