[stellation-res] Sundry fixes 
I recently checked a number of fixes into our local SVC repository (we're
using Stellation for developing Stellation here). These fixes should be mirrored 
to the Eclipse CVS repository sometime soon (e.g. once mirroring is running).

#21528 Classpath and project files missing from Stellation projects
Without these files, Stellation will not build. Note that the files *are* present 
	in the Eclipse CVS repository; they' were just missing from our local
	(Watson) SVC repository.  Fixed.

#21530 WorkbenchWatcher does not attach to active workbench window
	Resource tracking and certain actions do not work correctly the first time
 	they were tried.  Fixed.

#21531 Cancel button in Comment dialog does not cancel Checkin - Fixed.

#21532 Menu items in toolbar pulldown menu do not work - Fixed
	
#21544 Global Preference Page has obsolete and nonfunctional items - Fixed
	(But, see full report for related pending Bugzilla items).

On a related note: at least one person has reported issues with downloading
and installing the tar file on Windows.  This is a gzipped tar file.
Using Cygwin and its tar command, I had no problem downloading and installing
the tar on a Windows system, and I could build it with Eclipse without problems. (Of course, portions of the code which are Unix-specific will not run on Windows, 
but that's a different issue.)
By contrast, WinZip (at least, my version) does *not* handle the tar file correctly. 
Many of the file names were truncated.  For now, please use a real tar utility.
Better yet - use anonymous CVS support inside Eclipse to download and install the code. This is easier, and always up to date (well, once our SVC-to-CVS mirroring is up). 
We've also figured out how to use command-line CVS to access the Eclipse CVS
repository (for both anonymous read access and extssh commit access), and
will be documenting this soon. Use of the tar file will be discouraged in future, and we will probably remove it from the web site once CVS-based access is working smoothly. 

Regards,
Jim
