Best way to collaborate in real-time with Eclipse? [message #1722569]

My friend and I are going to work on a Java project, and past projects I have worked on have been a pain in terms of keeping code consistent on each of our computers. What I'm looking for is kind of a Google Docs in Eclipse, where all of my edits can be seen in real-time with others working on the project, and vice versa. Through all of my searching I found the DocShare plugin, but there is very little documentation and I wasn't able to get even the ECF part to work. Is there a better alternative? Or could someone help with this plugin?

Dalton,

I doubt having a live view of the same moving source code target without
coordinating the coding activities makes sense. After all, the world
if full of teams of people working on a common code bases and yet what
you seek is not the common solution (or even an exceptional one).
Better to use something like Github to maintain your code. That's what
regular developers use...

what Ed is hinting at (without saying so openly 8-) is to use a
version control system.

There are several (open source or commercial) that provide plugins to
use them from within eclipse.

Git is one of them, with Github an commercial hoster providing free
repository space for public projects.

have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control for
version control in general and at
http://better-scm.shlomifish.org/comparison/ for an overview and
comparison of several current VCS.
