Description CW Renniks CLA 2004-10-07 17:05:20 EDT 
It would be great when doing a rename or move refactor that files that show up 
as read-only, could be quickly and easily made writable from within the 
preview dialog. Currently, and especially tedious when working against a VCS 
that makes file read-only, this is very tedious.
Comment 1 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-10-08 04:22:01 EDT 
The workbench provides a hook to make fils writeable if the are readonly. 
Refactoring is calling the hook. Is you VCS system integrated into Eclipse ? 
If so they have to implement the hook to make the file writeable.

Got fixed for M2 by bug 28218.
