Re: [platform-swt-dev] Whether this feature is included in eclipse CVS.

I think you need to just go try using
eclipse... what you describe is the way eclipse cvs works... i.e. it already
does what you want.
The menu item you are looking for is
on the context menu for any project/folder/package/class: Team->Synchronize
with Repository...
Please read the eclipse documentation
at http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/main.html
I suggest starting with the "Workbench
User Guide". There is a "Team CVS Tutorial" in this document.
In future, please do not send user questions
to all of these mailing lists.
Please use the eclipse newsgroups for
user questions.

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Whether this feature is included in eclipse CVS.

Hi.Here is my problem situation
    Suppose 2 devlopers have taken
latest file say Version1.1(checkout)from CVS.One of them made some changes
and checked in(commits) resulting in file version 1.2.But the other guy
is still using 1.1.Now this guy having older version1.1 wants to commit,he
will get an error/conflict.Bcos there is a mismatch betwen file versions.
       Now wat i want
is:
  A
plugin that will tell/indicate me in advance (before commiting)
that this file(version 1.1)is already commited,instead of later coming
to know that a conflict has occured whenever he commits.
  The
advantage of this solution is:
1.If i know in advance that file has already
been commited by some other person ,then i        
will take latest version from CVS.This will save considerable amount of
time to resolve     the conflicts later.
 
2. Imagine iam on leave for 1 day.when
i come the next day,by that time            
                    many
persons would have commited many modifications.Iam not aware of these  
          changes and straightway do my work with
the old version which i had the day before        
taking leave.If i have a plugin that will tell me,"The file u r using
is already commited"     it will relieve me from all the
conflicts resolving procedures.
 
           
       Is there any feature like this in eclipse
CVS.Say the file name can b marked in different color indicating that the
current working file is already committed
