Forgive me if this is a common question (I'm a newbie), but I did try to
search the web as well as these newsgroups and the FAQ, and came up empty.
Currently, I am using Eclipse 2.1.2, but I would certainly consider moving
to 3.0 if this feature only exists there.
I am looking for any functionality in eclipse that I could use to simulate
the perforce changelist abstraction or the netbeans' IDE "VCS Groups"
functionality. In it's simplest form, it is just a way to group a related
set of files and then be able to perform an action on all of them.
Typically (as in the p4 changelist), it is used to group files that are
releated to a particular source change (e.g. for adding a new feature or
fixing a defect). It allows me to organize my work on separate
defects/features easily, as well as simplify the interaction with CVS by
selecting the group and then performing a common CVS command (e.g. diff or
commit) on the group as a whole.
I thought I might be able to accomplish this with the task support, but it
looks like you can only associate a single resource with a task, and I
don't
want to create individual tasks for each file that needs to be updated --
not to mention that would also defeat the other "grouping" benefits.
Any/all suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks -- Tim

Tim,
There is no such feature in Eclipse itself but specific repository
vendors may implement their own flavor of it in their plugins.

Thanks, Micheal. I tried searching the various plugin sites, too, but came
up empty there, too. I tried widening my search outside the CVS realm, as
you could imagine that this feature doesn't even really have any dependency
on a CMS system -- it's just another way to group related files -- a list of
links to the actual file locations would suffice for my purposes.
