Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Cannot remove two directories from one plugin
CVS always shows a directory because of past revisions. Thus the CVS feature.

I was just wondering what a mess can be there inside CVS with all the refactorings that are done in a project (This is because the directories always remain there.) 

Dave said this is a CVS feature, but honestly I don't understand it :)

Thanks again the CVS frustration is a little smaller now (just a little)!

    Looks done. That was quick!

    I am curious why it was needed? (I think I know, but best to
    document such things, since removing something from a source
    control system is normally rare, even discouraged).

    Also, be sure your cvs client (hopefully Eclipse :) is set up to
    "ignore empty directories on check out" so normally you'd never
    see it, if empty.

    And most important, be sure bin/ is in your .cvsignore file.
    (Normally this is the "default behavior" but I know there's some
    sequence of events that causes 'bin' to get in cvs, and then it is
    hard to get rid of,  and,
    as I suspect you know, derived resources should rarely go in cvs).
