Description Peter Repinc CLA 2007-01-15 04:27:26 EST
Instead of an small icon when a class/file or package is changed it would be nice to be able to display the name of package/class in a different user defined color. It would also be nice, if the text editor and/or "member view" (or any other view that displays members) would also be able to display changes in used defined background/text color depending if the method has been changed or not (with the ability to define to track changes from local history or from the latest "checkout").

You can already color files with outgoing changes on 'Team > CVS > Label Decorators'.

I believe there is enough functionality available in the model support to do this.  It's too late in 3.3 to investigate so perhaps in 3.4. If someone wanted to contribute a patch, I would be happy to provide pointers on where to look (at least from the Team side since I don;t know much about the Java Outline view or editor).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
