when you syncrozine with cvs a progressbar popups to the screen so i can't use eclipse anymore i have to wait till the syncronization is over can it be made in background ?
This is complicated by the resource locking model used by Eclipse. Would be nice though. Marking a P2 to indicate that it would be a big gain. A solution may be a ways off however.
right but when the syncroniziation is in progress and someone changes something eclipse won't include thouse files in current syncronization, they will be remember and CVS files will be fixed after syncronization finish if someone commits thouse files they should be unmarked ... actually there are a lot more cases :-)
What I'm trying to say is that, given the current resource locking model in Eclipse, if there is a synchronize in progress and someone tries to save changes to a file, the workspace will lock until the synchronize is done. Hence, there is no point trying to implement this enhancement until the resource locking model is changed. I have entered bug 35869 requesting this from Platform Core.
ok, maybe make the sync in background and continue to work with eclipse in READ- ONLY mode ?
Core is currently working on support for this. We will use this support once it is available (the first cut should be available for 3.0 M1 on June 6).
Some initial support for this in I20030709. checkout, repo browsing, and synchronizing can optionally run in the background. To enable goto Team > CVS > Work In Progress and enable the backgournd ops and repo view fetching options. Also you can run the synchronize operation in the background from the Live Sync View. Goto the view drop down and from the preferences you can schedule the sync. Also, open the new progress view under Basic > Progress.
This is in M2.
