Description Kevin McGuire CLA 2002-04-16 00:03:43 EDT 
We should be contributing CVS properties for IResources to the properties 
sheet.  We did in 1.0 but have lost this in 2.0.

Presumably this is the same info we show in the properties dialog page.
Comment 1 James Moody CLA 2002-04-17 22:56:37 EDT 
I thought so too...

I can't get this to work. I loaded our old VCM code (which used to work) and it
doesn't work either. Our adapter factory is not getting called.

Did something change in the way property sources are accumulated? I register an
adapter factory against, for example, an IFile. Then I implement

public Object getAdapter(Object adaptableObject, Class adapterType) {
	if (IPropertySource.class == adapterType) {
		return myPropertySource;
	}
}

but it is never getting called. What am I doing wrong? How do you register a
property source against someone else's object (which already has a property
source)? Consulting the UI team.
Comment 2 Randy Giffen CLA 2002-04-18 12:06:43 EDT 
You can't (and couldn't in 1.0 either)
To support this the workbench would have to make ResourcePropertySource 
extendable via an extension point.
CVS properties show up when you select in the repositories view. Perhaps this 
is what Kevin is thinking of.
Comment 3 James Moody CLA 2002-04-18 12:37:09 EDT 
Yes, we had some halucinations over here. Thanks for the clarification... look forward to a feature request in the near future. :-)
