[news.eclipse.tools] Re: Towards improved CVS module support

[KC Jones <kjones@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a newbie I'd like to make one modest request:

Eclipse should not destroy data without the consent of the user.

Specifically, Eclipse should not destroy CVS support files
and directories without user confirmation.  Maybe this
should be configurable, but the default really ought to be
non-destructive.

Again, I'm a newbie and there is a good chance I simply
missed the indoctrination rituals that explain why Eclipse
enforces the One True Way of using CVS.  But in my ignorance
I've managed to waste many, many hours recovering from
Eclipse's penchant for purging CVS data when directory trees
are moved around using Eclipse's resource view.

Chances are good that any explicit support for modules will
not involve checking a module out and then moving it.  But I
would hope that while making Eclipse more flexible vis a vis
modules, it can also be made more flexible w.r.t. moving
directory trees that are under CVS control.

Cheers,
KC Jones
