[news.eclipse.tools] CVS label decorations missing

["Sean Flanigan" <ugawhyop001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have enabled CVS label decorations in Prefs/Workbench/Label Decorations.
This used to give me the '>' markers, tag names, etc, in eclipse 2.01 and
2.1 M3.

However, these days (probably since trying I20021213 and M4) all my projects
show up with the bluish icon, as if they were unshared Java projects.  All
the Team/CVS operations still work, I just don't get the decorations.  On
some occasions, I have noticed that the first few projects are okay (icon
for a shared project, showing the CVS host in square brackets), but the
fifth project, which happens to be our largest, and following projects were
apparently unshared projects.

I have tried creating a new workspace and checking out the projects again,
but I still get no decorations, even if I import M4 preferences from someone
else who does get the decorations.  The log file from this test was like
this:

1.11.1p1 or later for full support.


with the last message repeated another 19 times.

I'm not sure what CVS functionality would be missing, but since I used to
get decorations with this CVS server, I don't think it has much to do with
the problem.

I have also tried disconnecting the projects from CVS and then reconnecting
them, but it made no difference to their appearance.

Has anyone else run into this?
