A couple of quick notes on the plugin.

For now I'm keeping the interaction to a minimum. No dialog pops up when you 
check in/check out
except for a confirmation at the end to tell you the process completed. What 
does everyone think
about this? Should the user get a dialog so they can cancel and override 
read-only action and all
that? I'm also not collecting a comment on checkin. Do we want a comment dialog 
to pop up? This is
easy enough to do, but I'm thinking maybe the plugin should bother you as 
little as possible.
After all, that's pretty much what the plugin is all about.

I've added an Add File action. Next I'll do the following:

* Get Folder (this will be smart enough to not overwrite any files you have 
checked out)
* Add Folder (adds the folder and all contents, recursively)
* Check In Folder (will traverse the folder looking for files you have checked 
out, and check
those in).

And that's pretty much it. Anything I'm missing?

One other issue with the plugin is that it does not give you the feeback of the 
SJ Gui. Of course,
it's not the SJ GUI and limited functionality is to be expected. But should we 
look in to
modifying the icons in the file view to show check box icons and all that? I 
don't even know if
this is possible, and it is bound to be tricky.

Another issue is that the current plugin assumes that all the required jar 
files will be in the
plugin directory. Ideally, these should be loaded from the bin directory of the 
SJ client
installation. I'm not sure how to dynamically add external jars to the 
classpath, but it should
not be all that hard. Anyway, that's one other feature I plan to add.

I'm happy to say that we finally have a SourceJammer Eclipse plugin under development. It still
needs some enhancing and lots more testing, but the skeleton is in place.







Rob,


In my opinion the checkin comment is a very useful thing. Helps maintain a discipline about the changes that we are making. The rest of good to haves but not really crucial. This is going to be cool.. I cant wait to use it.
Thanks,
Anin
