Hi Janaka, This is not only for WAR files and will be supported all the other application types which are currently supported by AppFactory like Jaggery.
IMO how about doing the scenario you mentioned like this as a separate feature. 1. User creates the application in normal way where selecting the application type and Repo type. So that the application will be created in normal manner 2. In the "Build and Repo" page (or any other good place) we will be providing an extra functionality to connect with an external repository and fetch the source code from there. Why I think like this is dealing with source code is not something that has to be done while creating the application. WDYT?
