"Add to .cvsignore" greyed out, Ignore Resources broken [message #104919] Mon, 26 September 2005 13:15 Go to next message

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Eclipse Synchronise perspective to ignore my .classpath.
So I added it to my .cvsignore file. No effect. Well, not entirely true
- .cvsignore now shows up as an outgoing change :-/

I tried right-click | Add to .cvsignore, but that menu option is greyed
out - for every file I've examined. I tried adding .classpath to the
Ignore Resources list (Window | Preferences | CVS | Ignore Resources) and
it does indeed ignore .classpath - for about three seconds. Then the
Synchronise view refreshes and .classpath shows back up in my conflicts
list.

Anyone have a clue as to why Eclipse is ignoring .cvsignore, greying out
"Add to .cvsignore" and studiously not ignoring Ignore(d) Resources?

Thanks,

John Vance

Maybe because you edited it yourself? You could try deleting (moving
out of the workspace) .cvsignore and see whether a new one gets made.

Dank u!

Most likely that's the problem. It appears that once CVS has seen a file,
it can't be ignored through .cvsignore. It may need to be purged from CVS
using an admin command. Right now this is a low priority, but if I find
out the exact solution, I may submit a FAQ and answer for it.

Met vriendelijke groeten,

John

That is definitely the case. And note it is a CVS limitation not an
Eclipse thing. You will have to purge the file from your CVS server in
order to be able to ignore it properly.

HTH,
