CVS Synchronize incoming mode???? [message #38917]

My practice has been to make changes, Team>Syncronize with repository, then
right-click in the Synchronize view and commit.

For no apparent reason, Team>Synchronize with repository now results in a
view titled Synchronize - Incoming mode. I don't want Incoming, I want to
check stuff in. What caused this? How to get past it?

I believe that this means that you have changes in your CVS repo that are
incoming, and Eclipse is suggesting that you catch up first. You can
override this behavior by changing mode using the buttons on the Synchronize
view. But remember, if you see "Incoming mode" then Eclipse thinks that you
have source changes to catch up with (that have typically been committed by
someone else.)

A common problem that I've seen people have in the past is where you
constantly see incoming class files in /bin, for which you need to add a
..cvsignore file to force the bin output folder to be ignored.

Hope this helps,

Simon

The minimum one should to is checking whether there are any files that
have conflicts and resolve them before checkin. But of course the
*proper* way is to first get all changes from the repository, verify that
the project still builds (!) and after that check in your changes.
Otherwise one might check in an inconsistent state into the repository.

Hm, the bin folder should not be shared at all. So new files there should
never reach the repository and hence entering "bin" into .cvsignore should
not be necessary.

Unfortunately, bin is not considered by default to be an "ignore" file.
So unless you explicitly add it the .cvsignore file, Eclipse/Team CVS
will add the bin directory (and any subdirectories) to the branch.
However, since all of the files in the bin directory are marked as
"derived" by the JDT compiler, they never go out to CVS (derived files
don't go to CVS by default).

Wish that were true. Every time I checkout projects into a new version of
Eclipse I seem to have to add the bin folder to .cvsignore once again.

Button? Oh, those things are buttons. Well whaddaya know. ;-}

The problem seemed to have been caused by an empty package directory. Not
sure why, but when I deleted the directory and synchronized again I was no
longer in incoming mode.

Thanks.

Are you checking in the .cvsignore into CVS? If you are, you shouldn't
need to add bin into it since it should already be there for that
particular project when you check that project back out.

I don't do anything to prevent checking in .cvsignore.
