Eclipse Platform Build Notes – CVS Support

CVS build I20021116 Nov 16, 2002 (2.1 M4)

Build submission for Integration Build 20021116

What's new in this build

Eclipse now supports CVS Watch/Edit. There is a CVS preference for indicating that projects should be checked out as read-only and there are Edit and Unedit actions available in the Team menu. Also, Eclipse will automatically perform a "cvs edit" on files that are modified in an open editor.

The CVS Repositories view has undergone a few more changes. Modules now appear as folders under HEAD with their own icon to differentiate them from regular folders. Also, refreshing the tags for a module may not work properly because this feature requires the use of an auto-refresh file. If your modules are not appearing in the version or branch categories, perform a "Configure Branches and Versions" on the module and assign the tags to the module and/or set the auto-refresh file.

Several optimizations have also been performed on the CVS plugin. CVS now uses the new light-weight decorators provided by Platform UI. Also, the determination of a folder's dirty status has been optimized using caching. The caching scheme uses a combination of persistant and session properties (facilities provided by Platform Core). Persistant properties have a certain overhead so that the first query of the dirty status of a folder will be longer running then subsequent queries.

Numerous other bugs are fixed. As always, you can check in Bugzilla.

CVS build I20020917 Sept 17, 2002

Build submission for Integration Build 20020917

What's new in this build

A "quick sync" button has been added to the CVS action set which will display the list of all projects shared with CVS and allow the user to choose which projects to sync, either directly or by working set.

Performing a commit in the sync view or the navigator will present the user with a dialog that shows the user any new resources that are not yet under version control or not yet ignored. The user can select which resources they would like to add before the commit is performed.

Numerous other bugs are fixed. As always, you can check in Bugzilla.

CVS build I20020517 May 17 2002

Build submission for Integration Build 20020517

What's new in this build

Starting with this build, if you "Check Out As..." on a project from the repository which has no .project file, you will be prompted to specify what type of project you would like to create. (A typical example is to create a Java project at this point).

Also new in this build is the ability to select "Share Project..." on a project for which remote content already exists. Previously, sharing the project would automatically try to import your files into the repository; now, it detects that remote files already exists and opens the sync view for you to reconcile the differences.

Numerous other bugs are fixed. As always, you can check in Bugzilla.

CVS build I20020409 April 9 2002

Build submission for Integration Build 20020409

What's new in this build

GZIP compression support for CVS communication has been introduced in this build. It is turned on by default and can be configured on the CVS preference page.


Support for communicating with CVS NT servers has been improved. Note that CVS NT is still not a supported platform. CVS support should now work much better with CVS NT versions 1.11.1.1 and higher, including 1.11.1.3.


Support for branch and version tags in the UI has been improved. See the "Configure Tags" dialog, which is available nearly anywhere in the UI where tags are needed. (e.g. in the Compare With Tag action, Replace With Tag action, and in the Repositories View).


Cancellation and progress have been greatly improved. For example, it should be possible to cancel connections to unresponsive servers without waiting for operations to time out.


The CVS Console is much more usable. Output from different actions is easily distinguished, and color coding of server responses has been added.

CVS build I20020402 April 2 2002

Build submission for Integration Build 20020402

What's new in this build

The CVS plug-ins are now turned on by default. The old VCM plug-ins are still included in the build but are turned off by default.

Additions, deletions and moved resorces are handled differently in this build:


1) The user will be prompted with a warning on deletion of files to
indicate that the file will be marked as an outgoing deletion. An
information marker will appear in the task view which indicates this. The
user can use the Auto Fix item in the task's context menu to restore the
file (from the server or local history) or commit the deletion. The user
can also commit the deletion as before (Commit on ancestor in Team menu or
Sync view) as well.

2) A similar warning will appear for folder deletions. However, the folders
themselves will not be deleted and files in the folders will appear as
outgoing deletions. On commit, any empty folders that contained outgoing
deletions will be pruned.

3) When files are added to a folder shared with CVS, an information marker
will appear in the task view until the file is either added to CVS control
or ignored (Autofix items are available for this).

Options are available in the CVS preferences page to disable both the
prompting and markers.



The CVS support now takes advantage of the new Core facilities for private resources. As such, CVS/ folders will be marked as private and should not show up anywhere in the UI. Also, if you copy or move a folder structure in the workspace, the CVS/ folders will be removed from the destination.


In order for the CVS/ folders to be marked as private, you will need to delete the projects in your workspace and check them out from the repository again. Failure to do so will simply result in CVS/ folders showing up in the UI.

More performance improvements for the decorators.

The actions in the Sync view have been changed. A summary:


Incoming mode:
        Update from Repository (operates ONLY on incoming nodes that are not conflicting)

        Commit (operates only on outgoing nodes that are not conflicting)

changes)
        Commit (operates only on outgoing nodes that are not conflicting)
        Override and Commit (operates on conflicts *and* on incoming
changes)


A preference was added that allows the user to more accurately determine how files are compared.

A new action was added to the merge view which allows the user to correctly merge conflicting files automatically (previously we had a bug which prevented this).
