Description Dominik Stadler CLA 2011-10-24 05:59:57 EDT
Build Identifier: 

I usually leave eclipse running for days only restarting it, when absolutely necessary. Sometimes Eclipse or the PC crashes for some unrelated reason, which means I am loosing all the ChangeSets that I defined in the Team Synchronize view.

Therefore I came up with the attached patch which automatically saves the ChangeSets every minute. 

I'm sure there are better ways to do this, this is just a quick way to solve my problem, comments about how this would look like for real are more than welcome!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse
2. Define some Changesets
3. Let Eclipse crash, e.g. kill the process

=> Changesets are gone

Bug 245977 and Bug 322618 are related, but not completely the same.

Wouldn't bug 98299 be a better solution for the problem?
Comment 3 Dominik Stadler CLA 2011-10-24 14:12:24 EDT
Yes, solving Bug 98299 would make this one obsolete.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

If the bug is still relevant, please remove the "stalebug" whiteboard tag.
