OK. The question I
guess I’m trying to ask is that if there is a code fix by one of the committers
for a specific problem (like the fix you made for Chris Miller dealing with the
column Id in which you replied – “I made a
code fix such that if the name and id are the same, it doesn't show in the
Header or Customization dialog”.) He then stated in his reply that he would
incorporate your change. To incorporate a change made by a committer like you,
do I
checkout XViewer source
code through Nebula CVS repository all over again to get the change made? Is
that where changes are promoted? If that is the case then how do we know when a
change has been promoted to the repository? Is there a version change we can see
on the checkout? I’ve already checked out XViewer from the CVS Repository. Do I
need to blow away that source and check out XViewer all over again? I tried Help
-> Check for Updates just to see if it would notice a change to the XViewer
repository (which it didn’t) but that would at a minimum require the change you
made gets promoted to the repository. I’m not sure that would work anyway since
its source code and not a build? I can use File -> Import -> Plugins and
Fragments but the version there looks to have been built in 2010-07-19? So I’m
skeptical that any changes made by the Nebula team get incorporated that way? If
you make changes to some bug I reported, how do I get those changes incorporated
into my XViewer source?
Thanks, Sorry it’s so
long but I didn’t seem to be asking it in an understandable
way?

Until building is
fixed, I believe the only way is to checkout a copy of the XViewer plugin and
build with it.

That last question may
be a little misleading so let me clarify if you would. I can use eclipse to
import xviewer from the list of plugins provided. XViewer is in that since I
added it the first time. So if updates are made on your side will I see and
receive them by importing or do I need to use the
updater?
This may be a dumb questions but
since I just joined this group I’ll ask it anyway? I was following the email
trail of Chris Merrill and noticed that there where updates made to XViewer to
fix one of his problems. What is the best way to incorporate the latest changes
of Nebula code since there still are not any builds working? Do we need to make
a complete reinstall or can Eclipse do it through it’s update
functionality?
