Description Eugene Kuleshov

Current implementation of CVS Annotate view requires to use 3 linked
views/editors together (CVS Annotate, CVS History and Editor) and may require to
switch to different perspective too. It will be more convenient to have one or
both of the following options as an alternative to CVS Annotate view:

-- use special "quick diff" that will show annotation information (user id,
revision and CVS comment) for selected/current lines.
-- show user id and revision from annotation info in the area of the line
numbers (e.g. instead of line numbers or in addition to).

We fixed the forced perspective switch in 3.1. Other points are good ideas
though. No plans on implementing this in 3.1.

Jean-Michel, can you please give me some pointers to where to look in the code? 

I'd like to try to implement it and contribute a patch. There are two questions
to start with:

-- How to add a new custom section to "line number area" in all editors
-- How to add a new "quick diff" implementation

Thank you.

> -- How to add a new custom section to "line number area" in all editors

I don't think you can unless you subclass the java editor.

> -- How to add a new "quick diff" implementation

See the quickdiff extension point schema and browse for a class called
CVSRemoteQuickDiffProdider.

We now have a QuickDiff based annotation in 3.2.
