Eclipse CVS changelist

Question

Is there a way to see all the recently changed files in an eclipse project (including files recently changed by other CVS users)? Thanks.

DD,

Your question has a few angles. You need to check on a few places.

1. Open the Window/View/Navigator view.

2. Right-click on the top of the project. 2.a. If you want to see the changes of your coworkers without updating your code, do right-click, Team/Compare with latest from repository. You will be able to see the changes coming in, and your changes affecting them. Naturally, everybody needs to be on the same branch, and everybody else should have committed their changes. 2.b. If you want to see the changes updating your code, do a right-click, and Update or do Team/Update. Again, be sure everybody has finished committing, and they did it to the same brach or trunk before doing the update. Keep reading, please...

3. Again, in your Navigator View, go to the top of the project, right-click, and do Team/Show History. You will see the versions grouped by commitment, so you will have to go to each commit, click on it, and see what files changed on each version.

4. You can track the changes of each file by walking through the history of the project, and see at the bottom or the side which files changed on each version. Double click on a file to see the compare with other version of the file.

Good luck! CVS and SVN can be frustrating even after you get a good hold of the concepts.
