Description Jim des Rivieres CLA 2003-05-15 11:30:48 EDT 
Improve team API. Since Eclipse 2.0, each team repository provider adds its 
own specialized commands to the Eclipse UI. There are no common APIs for a 
plug-in tool to programmatically interact with different team providers. JSR-
147 is in the process of developing common API for creating and manipulating 
sets of version-controlled files and web resources, based on the DeltaV 
extension to WebDAV. Eclipse should support this experimental API. [Platform 
Team]

We have written a document explaining how we plan to address this 3.0 work 
item. Please have a read and post comments to the vcm mailing list or to this 
bug report. As stated in the document, this work will begin in the M5 
milestone.

Comment 2 Gunnar Wagenknecht CLA 2004-01-29 02:23:29 EST 
Will there be support for sharing one project in multiple repositories?
Comment 3 Jean-Michel Lemieux CLA 2004-01-29 09:38:57 EST 
We have finished our priliminary evaluation of JSR 147 (WVCM).  We have always 
been interested in WVCM because it has industry backing and is a very 
comprehensive abstraction for modern versioning system capabilities. Although 
it would be a good candidate for a Repository Provider API in Eclipse Team, at 
this time the JSR is still under public review with a deadline of mid winter 
2004 and a reference implementation is not yet available. This, combined with 
the lack of documentation and examples, has lead us to the conclusion that we 
cannot release an Eclipse Team API in 3.0 based on a JSR that is still under 
review and not yet final. As a result we are deferring the Improve Team API 
plan item until after 3.0.

Have a look at
http://jakarta.apache.org/slide
In the cvs head (not included in the 2.0 beta1) there is a reference
implementation for jsr-147. Slide is currently not supporting advanced
deltaV-features but it could be a good starting point for investigating wvcm.
Eclipse integration would be great as subversion will be released soon as well.

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
