Hello Re :-) It's absolutely a good idea to set up source control as well as Artifactory. The modules you store in Artifactory have to be built from some kind of source code, and Git/Hg/SVN provide storage, history, and collaboration for the source code. Artifactory is only intended for storing the output of the compile/test process (JARs, WARs, etc.). If you don't version-control your source code, you'll have a chaotic development process and never-ending bug-fixes. Artifactory isn't intended or suitable for storing source code, except maybe as a dump of source for debugging by people who for some reason can't access your original source code server.
If you're not sure what to do, the best idea is to find someone who *has* set up and managed a source control server before! It's also a good idea, I think, to include something in your JARs etc. which points back to the exact version of source code from which it was built, e.g., as an entry in the MANIFEST.MF, but that's another story.
