I was not really sure where to log this pr since the JDT should not have to 
know about cvs which is what is implied by having a file .cvsignore. Apologies 
if this is the wrong home for this pr.

Anyways....

As a user I should not have to create a .cvsignore file for my java project in 
order to add the bin. It is highly unlikely a user would actually think to do 
this. I only noticed it by virtue of having two other happy projects in my 
workspace (and from hearing the old csignore discussions).

As a meta point likely for vcm folks?: A user should not have to manually edit 
cvsignore. There needs to be a ui that informs the user they can pick folders 
that will not be synchronized with the server.

Moving to platform-vcm (in two steps)

1. .cvsignore is part of CVS world, required for compatibility.  Supporting 
magic UI for editing tough since can have arbitrary file patterns in it.

2. However, /bin will soon be auto-ignored through use of CORE "transient" flag 
that JDT to set and Team to read.  We will close this bug once this support in.

3. Also, we have an "Add to .cvsignore" menu item that should help a little 
average user who doesn't know about .cvsignore.

JDT now marking all folders but top level "bin" as derived.
Comment 4 James Moody CLA 2002-04-09 14:44:21 EDT 
Verified that 'add to .cvsignore' functionality is present and works.
Need to verify that all subfolders of bin/ are marked derived, wait for today's 
integration build.

Logged JDT bug asking why folders are not marked as derived. Reopening bug until
JDT bug is fixed.
Comment 6 Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-04-15 12:15:47 EDT 
Folders (all but output folder itself) now marked derived.
