| <title>Team - File System Repository Provider Example</title> |
| </head> |

| <h2>Team - File System Repository Provider Example</h2> |
| |
| <h3>Introduction</h3> |
| <p> |
| The File System and Pessimistic Repository Providers examples shows how to define your own repository provider. In particular you |
| this example shows how to: |
| <ul> |
| <li>Extend the RepositoryProvider class and register a new repository provider. |
| <li>Register a sharing wizard that will appear in the Team > Share... wizard. |
| <li>Add resource actions to the Team menu. |
| <li>Implement synchronization support that shows up the Synchronize View. |
| <li>Use decorators to show the repository state of the local resources. |
| <li>How to implement a file modification validator. |
| <li>Adding a repository provider to a capability. |
| </ul> |
| The example includes two separate repository providers, the basic file system and the pessimistic file system. The basic provider illustrates |
| the synchronization support whereas the pessimistic provider is more focused to allowing you to test the workbench behavior with pessimistic |
| repository providers. There is a preference page for the pessimistic provider that allows configuring the behavior of the file modification |
| validator. |
| |
| <h3>Running the example</h3> |
| <p> |
| To start using this example create a project and select <b>Team > Share Project...</b> from the project's popup menu. Click the show |
| all wizards button. This will show both the file system provider and the pessimistic provider. |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Basic file system provider</b>: you will have to enter the location in the local file system where you would like to connect the project |
| to. The Get and Put operations in the Team menu will now transfer to and from the selected location. And if you open the Synchronize View |
| you can browse the synchronization between the local workspace and the remote file system location the files are stored in. If you edit |
| a file and then create a Synchronization you can browse changes between the local and the remote. |
| <li><b>Pessimistic file system provider</b>: the sharing wizard next page doesn't actually require any user input. The pessimistic |
| provider doesn't actually copy the local files anywhere, and instead simply simulates a check in/check out by flipping the |
| read-only bit on files. Once a project is shared with the pessimistic provider you can add files to control and the check in and check out. |
| </ul> |
