[eclipse-dev] CVS and the Time change


Many of you may experience problems due to the time change. Java determines the timestamp of a file differently for some filesystems (e.g. FAT) which results in a timestamp change when the time changes. This can cause your workspace resources to be out-of-sync with the file system and can cause all your CVS files to appear as outgoing changes in the Synchronize view. The first problem can be remedied by performing a Refresh on your projects in the Resource Navigator or Packages Explorer. The second can be remedied by performing a Clean Timestamps on your projects in the Synchronize view. Neither of these operations will change the contents of the files on disk but will adjust timestamps accordingly.
