If I enter new patterns in Preferences/Team/Ignored Resources, it works just fine until I restart Eclipse at which point I have to enter my patterns again. Note that I'm using the Subclipse plugin.
Odd. It works for me on Windows and there's nothing platform specific about the preference. It is stored in the instance (i.e. workspace) preferences. Are other prefeences you change persisted accross restarts?
I just tried again, this time on a different machine. - launch eclipse - open preferences and add '*.pbxuser' to Team/Ignored Resources - click Apply, click OK - reopen preferences to confirm '*.pbxuser' is still there (it is) - quit eclipse and restart eclipse - open preferences to confirm '*.pbxuser' is still there (it is NOT) - add '*.pbxuser' to Team/Ignored Resources - and change another preference setting (Java/Use Reduced Search Menu) - click Apply, click OK - reopen preferences to confirm '*.pbxuser' is still there (it is) - quit eclipse and restart eclipse - open preferences to confirm '*.pbxuser' is still there (NOW it is) From now on I can change Team/Ignored Resources however I want - it's always persistent. It almost seems like the first time I had to change something else, too, to trigger something to work. I'll try this again on my work machine tomorrow.
I tried your steps on both the Mac and Windows and I didn't see any problem Could you try it out on a basic Eclipse with no extra plugins and see if the problem still occurs?
Awaiting response...
I've tried several scenarios on two different machines and can't reproduce the problem any longer. Sorry.
I'm having this bug now on my installation, in my case it seems to occur in context of CDT. I'm running Eclipse on Windows, just the minimum plain binaries, no SDK. Everything works fine, if nothing but basic Eclipse 3.1.1 is installed. After installing the CDT 3.0.0 I get the trouble described above, e.g. if I want to mark/unmark the *.a and *.exe patterns, these settings are lost after restarting eclipse. After i disable CDT in the "Help/Manage Configuration" dialog, again everything is fine - until I restore the original full configuration and press the OK or APPLY button in the preferences dialog. So, my workaround is: - disable CDT plugin - set/unset patterns of ignored resources - restore configuration Settings seem to keep alive unless preferences are changed
Interesting. Sounds like there is a conflict between a user defined setting that is then replaced by a plugin setting.
Created attachment 60375 [details] Fix The problem explanation: 1. globalIgnores are initialized (Team plugin preferences). 2. pluginIgnores are initialized (extenstion point ignores). any ignore from here is propagated to global only if it is not already there, so it is possible that the same pattern is globally enabled and disabled by plugin. 3. User disables unconsistent property. 4. Global ignores are wiped and replaced by those from UI preferences page. 5. Saved are only those, who are not equal with pluginIgnores. Changes are not saved. Solution: keep plugin- and globalIgnores consistent. Please note, that this patch *does not* fix problem reported by bug report and comment #2. I believe this is different bug.
Patch released to HEAD. Thanks.
