Description Erich Gamma CLA 2002-06-06 05:07:59 EDT 
I'm filing this bug since we got trapped by the Team.getType() API in F2 (see 
19261). We thought we can use this API to constrain the Text File search to 
text files only. 

However, given that Japanese users will have to declare their Java files as 
binary and not text in the Team registry (since they are stored as Unicode) 
they would no longer be able to make text searches on them. Is this assumption 
correct? Or in other words how do Japanese users work with CVS?

If the assumption from above is correct then the API description and registry 
UI should make it clear that Team.TEXT really means ASCII and not "text" as the 
user would expect that a .java file stored in unicode is text.

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
