People have been suggesting Subversion because you can get Subversion to send emails whenever a file is updated in the repository. > his Eclipse and bingo, the updated file is already there. The word With any version control system, you have explicitly update your workspace to see what changed. And in the process you will be warned of any changes that conflict with anything you've changed, but have yet to commit back into the repository. > 'simultaneous' has been used to convey that we want to edit the same piece > of code on two different. Now that I have explained that, does anyone know What you are wanting, to me, is very unusual. So I need to clarify that you know what version control systems are as what you are wanting sounds like what version control systems are original meant to solve. In case you don't know version control systems are, I'll try and as brief as possible describe them. Version control systems are a centralised repository that stores all the files of a project along with all the changes that have happened to each and every file along with additional information indicating which version of which files were used to create and deploy a release of the project. Each developer will checkout a complete copy of the repository to work on. Changes are committed back into the repository. Each developer can update their local copy with changes made into the repository by other developers at that point the developer will be notify if any of the updates conflict with any uncommitted changes. The typically, notification of changes made to the repository can be automatically sent to everyone who needs to know. The principle behind version control is you work on a local copy and not the central repository and version control systems protects the integrity of the repository by preventing people from directly modifying the repository. Version control systems maintain a complete history of whom did what to which file and when. > of any plugin's? There are 2 main subversion plugins: subclipse and subversive. I apologise if this is not new to you or your manager, it's just what your intent sounds very much like what version control systems are all about.
