Eclipse plugin renegades

Post by GrahamLabdon » Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:30 am

Hello
I am using VaultPro with Eclipse
When initially setting up the eclipse project I do the following in Eclipse

File->Import->Team-ProjectFromVault

I choose my project and all the files are loaded correctly.
However, in the Vault client all files are shown as renegades and I have to check them out and the check them in to resolve this.

Why does this happen?
Can I avoid this?

Thanks

Graham

One option is to use CVS mode. That is found in the Vault - Tools - Options - Concurrent Development Style. You can still check out files while in CVS mode.

Another thing you can do is find the settings.xml file on your disk and make sure that the path points to your Vault Client-side cache.

In Vault, make sure your working folders point to the same area that Eclipse has.

Thanks for that Beth, I will investigate next week
I have Another related question -

My build environment creates files that I never want to add the VaultPro, so I added them to the list of 'ignored resources' under the 'Team' tab of eclipse preferences.
I also added them to file exclusions in the web admin client.
however, they still turn up in the vaultpro pending changes in eclipse

Any ideas as to how I can stop them appearing?

thanks

Graham

The Vault file/folder exclusions in the Vault admin web page only deal with adds that are performed at a folder level. This kind of add only happens with the Vault GUI client. When integrated with other software, the other software usually adds on an individual file level and overrides the Vault exclusions.

In Eclipse, it might depend on the version you are using. I found a few bugs listed on the Eclipse site.

What version of Eclipse do you have?
