Description Peter Svahn

This problem has occurred after 3.1M1.
I have enabled watch/edit for a project and I get a prompt if I try to edit a 
file that has another editor. But there is no Team->Show Editors menu and if I 
open the CVS Editors window it is empty.

There is no plan to address this issue but patches will be accepted.

I could not reproduce the problem. The prompt always included the editors list 
and the Team->Show Editors menu was always present.

I've tried to reproduce the problem using all combinations of CVSNT 2.0.9, Unix-
CVS 1.12.9, Eclipse 3.1M6 and Eclipse 3.1RC3. 

With Eclipse 3.1RC3 I switched the preference 
"Send a CVS edit notification to the server in the background"
to
"Send a CVS edit notification to the server"

Opening the Editors view from Window->Show View will in fact give an empty 
view, but this is normal. The Editors view is populated only with Team->Show 
Editors.

Can you give more details how to reproduce the problem?

The menu menu was missing at one point in 3.1 but it has been added back.
