Porbs with auto-merge of jsp's in eclipse CVS [message #29764]

I've been using eclipse for a while now and have generally had no problems
with the eclipse cvs merge capabilities. I have recently however been
getting more involved with jsp development in eclipse and have found that
the cvs 'update' command does not merge jsp's despite the fact that I have
set the jsp type to text/ascii (initially this was set to binary btw so we
did develop for a short time with content type binary for jsps).

We did a short test where we added a simple one liner to a jsp in two
completely different parts of the jsp and attempted to merge. No merge was
performed and I was simply presented with the .#[jsp-filename] file which
i had to merge manually. I can understand that complex merges may not work
but I have not been able to get even the simplest of merges working.

Does anyone know if there are any documented problems of this sort or have
a suggestion to what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Tim

The only thing I can think of is that the file is actually still marked
as binary on the server. If the file was previously marked as binary you
will have to change the type on the server and not only in the file type
preferences:

1. select a project that contains your jsps.
2. Select Team > Change ASCII/Binary property

See the topic called "Setting the CVS keyword substitution mode" in the
docs for the complete set of steps.

Also, you may want to enable the CVS label decorator because it shows
the file type as known by the server.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
