Description
Rodney S. Foley
A workaround I just discovered: If this happens per the steps to reproduce above if repeat the steps except instead of selecting the folder that has the problem you select any folder from CVS except the one experiencing the problem or any fold in it hierarchy chain. Then after it is checked out into the project, the project accepts it and shows its Icon Decorations and so forth. I then delete it from the project and repeat the steps again this time getting the folder that was having the problem. Now after it is checked out it works as expected. This is strange and I shouldn't need to do this. It must be resetting whatever is wrong in the project. Moving to Platform/CVS Is there any errors in the error log (or the PDE Runtime>Error Log view)? Marking a REMIND. Please reopen with the requested information. There where no errors that I could find in the log. The CVS console had a lot of warnings about the $LOG$ tag, but still got the file. No errors in the CVS console either. Four pieces of new information. 1. This is now reproducible on the same CVS folder hierarchy by multiple users on different computers with slightly different installs of eclipse (3.1.x and 3.2.x) 2. The work around I posted didn't work consistently. It actually just worked a few times. 3. When digging deeper we noticed that the CVS folders are being created but only at a certain point and lower, they are not being creating all the way up the hierarchy to the project folder. It turns out that the CVS folders start at the location we checked CVS folder into. Normally on all the other projects it creates the CVS folders from the project folder all the way down the source hierarchy. However in these few cases it only creates it from the folder we check out on down. 4. A work around that we figured out that worked on each computer repeatedly was that if we copy the CVS folders from a working project that has the same "base" hierarchy to the project that doesn't work that Eclipse will start recognizing the project as a CVS controlled project. I haven't been able to reproduce this. Are you able to reproduce it with a basic install of the Eclipse SDK or does it only happen when you have other plug-ins installed? This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
