When "Compute deep outgoing state for folders" is enabled, the package view can be misleading: it will mark a package as outgoing if any class in that package, or any sub-package, is dirty. This is alright for the navigator view, which is strictly hierarcical, but the package view is a flat hierarchy. Example: > package (no dirty files) > package.subpackage (has dirty files) Both packages are shown as outgoing, even though only package.subpackage has modified files. It would be preferrable to package nodes marked as outgoing only if files directly in that package are dirty, and ignore any subpackages files.
This is a known problem that is a consequence of the difference between the resource and the package structure. This would require support to customize the CVS decorator for rendering Java. In particular this would have to be done in a way so that the JDT does not become dependent on CVS. As far as I know there is no such support - moving to VCM for comment.
Truth, there is no support because nobody has as yet come up with a good solution for logical->physical mapping.
