I did a search for a string in my plugin development workspace (Search > Search > File Search), and got a huge error list of files that were supposedly out of sync with the repository. The files on the list seemed to be files that I had excluded using .cvsignore. It seems only logical to me that if Eclipse is going to complain about a file being out of synch, it should make sure that file isn't excluded via .cvsignore first. This is obviously not a work stopping problem, just an inconvenience that might be confusing to some. Thanks!
Could you paste or attach your error log? This "out of sync" means probably that your workspace is not in sync with file system, e.i. files on disc were modified externally.
Yes, the files are out of sync, but that's not the point. Eclipse should not be checking to see if the files are in sync because they are in my .cvsignore file. Thanks. --Lew
"Not in sync" files issue is not related to cvs. Maybe the wording is confusing, but "not in sync" means, as I explained before, that e.g. content of the file in your workspace was modified externally (using external editor). This can also happen when a project is not shared. Because this is not related to cvs, .cvsignore should not affect search result. Try this: 1) Create an unshared project with a.txt 2) Modify the file externally using Notepad or other external editor 3) Use File Search and try to find text from a.txt You will see the same issue.
Marking as INVALID.
