| <b>Know issues we will be addressing are:</b> |
| <ul> |
| <li><b>Done:</b> Browsing of modules in "Show Modules" mode by version tag doen't work |
| (see bug <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=22760">22760</a>).</li> |
| <p/> |
| <li><b>Done:</b> It is difficult to work with Java packages that are defined at the |
| root of a repository because Eclispe requires packages to be children of |
| a project. The current workaround is to define modules in the |
| CVSROOT/modules file. We would like to simplify this by supporting the |
| checkout of a folder into an existing project shared with the same |
| repository.</li> |
| <p/> |
| <li><b>Done:</b> By default, the "cvs update" command is always performed with the |
| -d option which discovers new or previously unknown directories and loads their contents. |
| A property could be added to each project which enables/disables the use of the -d option.</li> |
| </li> |
| <p/> |
| <li><b>Will not be done:</b> Eclipse will automatically purge the CVS folders from any folder that |
| is moved. This behavior could be enhanced as follows: |
| <ol> |
| <li>If the folder is moved to a project that is not shared with a |
| repository, the project could be configured such that CVS operations |
| performed on the project would only effect the moved folder.</li> |
| |
| <li>If the folder is moved to a project shared with the same repository, |
| the folder could be added and the CVS folders maintained.</li> |
| |
| <li>If the folder is moved to a project that is mapped to another CVS |
| repository or another repository provider, the CVS directories must be |
| purged.</li> |
| </ol> |
| For case 1 and 2, the user would be prompted to carry out the operation |
| or purge the CVS information.</li> |
| </ul> |
