[wtp-dev] Fw: Reminder that we are restructuring CVS Wednesday afternoon

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Due to some last minute discoveries
of build problems and needs to respin, we have to keep building now, hence
will 
reschedule the refactoring for Friday
afternoon instead of today. Same rules apply ... and let's be sure 2.0.2
is finished EARLY on Thursday!

Subject	Reminder that we are restructuring CVS Wednesday afternoon

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_CVS_Restructuring

for details. 

I'll start at 1:00 PM tomorrow, and
will likely take about an hour, if not several. I'll post a "done"
message when it's ready. 

As previously mentioned, this will require
developers to create new workspaces ... or, at least, to get new WTP projects
checked out, replacing their old WTP projects. 

So, be sure you have any "local"
code saved away: 
         if
small ready for HEAD, just check it into HEAD
        if  large
changes, not ready to be committed to head yet, you can create temporary
branches with your changes, and they will still be moved. 
        if you can't
do either of the above, create patch files, which you can later apply back
to your workspace. 
        Remember,
just exporting the java files, and re-importing them is not a good technique,
as this will cause the connection to a files history to be lost, or reset.


You might also create Team Project Sets
to capture your favorite projects, as these can be updated with new repository
locations to be partially automatic. 
(I have not created those SED scripts
yet, but plan to later today). 

I'm sure there will be a few hiccups
along the way, so appreciate everyone's patience. 

Thanks,
