Re: [ecf-dev] ECF move to runtime project

just my 2 cent

I was all in favor to use SVN until we used SVN within our company. That was about 9 month ago or so. I think it has potential but still ..... CVS is ...... less complicated

Two issues that I remember
- renaming class A to B and then to C wasnt possible with SVN. you first had to check in the class with name B before you rename it again.... - and checking out stuff with SVN is slower then CVS (and I mean you could tell it was slower without a clock)

but again I am not contra SVN... features like keeping the history when you rename are all worthwhile

So I dont want to be in the middle of a SVN vs CVS war :-)

so just by 2 cent as I said

christian

p.s. we went back to CVS, less hazzle....

Hi,

I know I've been nagging about this before, but what about slipping a
switch from CVS to subversion into the rt move? Other Eclipse projects have already been using it successfully for a while, subversive is up to
the task and SVN's feature set is just worth it.


I agree (about it being worth it).
My *only* hesitation is WRT the Equinox p2 and platform usage (and therefore build) of ECF. Currently, we are building our own plugins and providing them to the platform so it probably would not be a major issue, but frankly given this bug:

...and the possibility of other pieces of ECF being consumed by Equinox, RT, and Eclipse (e.g. e.g. discovery, various providers, remote services, etc)...and the (hopefully forthcoming) new effort on shared build infrastructure...I want to try to make it as easy as possible for us to be flexible about scc and build...which leads me to the 'lowest common denominator'...i.e. CVS.

Other comments/opinions welcome.

Scott
