Build: 20020214 Details: The decorators for outgoing changes sometimes show changes for packages which have no changed files in. I guess this is maybe because they're below the actual changed packages in the physical directories. Example: Change a file in package v.w.x.y.z. The packages v.w.x and v.w.x.y also get a decorator for outgoing changes, although expanding them shows none of the files in it have changed. This is misleading.
Clarification: The report refers to decorators in the Java Package view.
Yes. I believe this likely will not be fixed for 2.0. Technically it is true from the point of view that package fragments adapt to IFolders, and those particular IFolders are dirty because their children are dirty. The problem is that package fragments are semantically shallow, and folders are semantically deep, and since decorators are contributed to resources, you get the folder behaviour instead of the desired package fragment behaviour. This is a complicated problem that we have given a lot of thought to (mapping of logical resources to physical resources) but I think that any really correct solution will be much to complicated to include in 2.0.
As James has pointed out, we would really like to address this problem, but it won't be done in the 2.0 timeframe.
