Re: [platform-vcm-dev] Disabling outgoing mode in synchronize view

["Michael Valenta" <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The short answer to your question is "No". CVS has a similar case when merging from a branch into the local workspace. Instead of using the sync view, a compare editor with a CVS specific compare input is used (see org.eclipse.team.internal.ccvs.ui.merge.MergeEditorInput). 

Having said that, the hope is that in the next release of Eclipse , shortcomings in this area can be addressed. I suspect that more details will be provided in the near future.

All,

I am working on a repository plug-in similar to CVS. Different types of synchronize functionality are provided so as to allow users to synchronize on different hierarchical elements in the repository. One such synchronize functionality does not allow users to perform operations on the repository. To accomplish this, I have disabled all the context menu items necessary to perform operations on a repository. A better approach would be to disable the outgoing mode in the
synchronize view.

I looked at the CatchupReleaseViewer code and SyncCompareInput code with the hope that Eclipse framework would allow plug-in developers to disable the incoming / outgoing / incoming-outgoing toolbar items. But all the items in the toolbar are private.. 

Is it possible to disable the incoming / outgoing / incoming-outgoing modes inside a synchronize view?

Thanks
Balaji
