[platform-team-dev] How come Eclipse Team Plugins are not consistent

["Walsh, Richard \(Dublin\)" <Richard.Walsh@xxxxxxxxx>]

 

Hi there,

 

I am currently doing some work on CVS and SVN. We need to support both on our platform. We were hoping for a generic API for this. In the Team API we though we had this. However, it appears that subclipse and subversive do not use the Team API through SVNKit. It heads off in its own direction.

 

My question is this. How come SVNKit does not use the Team API, whereas CVS support does. I would have thought that creators of Team Plugins should all use the Team API for consistent communication to any SCM Server. But this appears not to be enforced.

 

thanks,

Richie.
