OK. The question I guess I’m trying
to ask is that if there is a code fix by one of the committers for a specific problem
(like the fix you made for Chris Miller dealing with the column Id in which you
replied – “I made a code fix such
that if the name and id are the same, it doesn't show in the Header or
Customization dialog”.) He then stated in his reply that he would
incorporate your change. To incorporate a change made by a committer like you,
do I
checkout XViewer source code through
Nebula CVS repository all over again to get the change made? Is that where changes
are promoted? If that is the case then how do we know when a change has been promoted
to the repository? Is there a version change we can see on the checkout? I’ve
already checked out XViewer from the CVS Repository. Do I need to blow away
that source and check out XViewer all over again? I tried Help -> Check for
Updates just to see if it would notice a change to the XViewer repository
(which it didn’t) but that would at a minimum require the change you made
gets promoted to the repository. I’m not sure that would work anyway since
its source code and not a build? I can use File -> Import -> Plugins and
Fragments but the version there looks to have been built in 2010-07-19? So I’m
skeptical that any changes made by the Nebula team get incorporated that way?
If you make changes to some bug I reported, how do I get those changes
incorporated into my XViewer source?
Thanks, Sorry it’s so long but I
didn’t seem to be asking it in an understandable way?

Until building is fixed, I believe the
only way is to checkout a copy of the XViewer plugin and build with it.

That last question may be a little
misleading so let me clarify if you would. I can use eclipse to import xviewer
from the list of plugins provided. XViewer is in that since I added it the
first time. So if updates are made on your side will I see and receive them by
importing or do I need to use the updater?
This may be a dumb questions but since I just joined this
group I’ll ask it anyway? I was following the email trail of Chris
Merrill and noticed that there where updates made to XViewer to fix one of his
problems. What is the best way to incorporate the latest changes of Nebula code
since there still are not any builds working? Do we need to make a complete
reinstall or can Eclipse do it through it’s update functionality?
