Bill: You are editing locally: that is how Eclipse works. You must copy from the database or version control to edit the programs in this case. Unidata and Universe do not have an external BASIC compiler. We must compile within the U2 database. We have created tools in Eclipse to copy all or a single program from the U2 database to your workstation. You then edit your program on your work station. When you want to compile it, we send the program back the place we got it from and compile it on the database server. All version control packages in Eclipse copy those programs locally as well, where you can then edit them.
When creating a project you point to the Test or Live Account you want to edit the source from. When you are done editing, Eclipse will copy it back into that account. If you are happy with the results after testing, you can Team it in to your version control with notes on what got changed. That is all you have to do. No editor wrappers, no scripts for Windows or Unix, no changes to your Universe or Unidata database, no external or internal programs to worry about, no accounts to load, no software to install on your database server. XLr8Editor uses Version control from what every plug-in you have on Eclipse. Be it Subversion, CVS, GIT, or Perforce, you pick what version control you want. Where the version control software lives is your choice as well.

Inside UniVerse, there was a file pointer (in VOC) to the source and object code. One of the selling points of SubVersion (and others) is that a programmer could write code on a plane and then re-sync once the plane lands. As a lone ranger, checking code in and out has little meaning. Graphic 1: How does VOC knows what is the LIVE rev?. Is U2Logic's Version Control included with the XLr8 editor? --Bill _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
