External deletion of file is not reflected in local CVS [message #296583] Tue, 27 December 2005 12:04 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I externally delete a file from an eclipse project, then refresh this
project in eclipse. Modification is reflected in the package explorer
but the project does not display the CVS dirty flag. When attempting to
commit I get "The selected resources do not contain any changes"
message. Is there a way to make eclipse update the CVS status of the
project in such case?

Thanks for any help, Ilan.

Do a sync with repository, and it should notice that it's gone. I suspect that the CVS builder hasn't been fired with the removal of this project (no resource delta has been generated) and that's why the flag isn't there.

I seem to recall that there was an option to do a CVS refresh in much earlier days of Eclipse (like 2.0 days) but that was essentially a debugging tool that probably isn't there any more.

Failing that, delete it from within Eclipse next time ;-)

Thank you Alex, the sync does the job.
