I'm confused about one important point: We use Subclipse, a fully integrated Eclipse plugin, for all code sharing within my small research group. Since we do all our code development in Eclipse, I would think that neither Versions or Cornerstone would be of use to us. Or is that not true?
Here's a discussion (2008) comparing Versions and Cornerstone at http://jadeohlhauser.com/2008/c_vs_v/ Both have changed since then, of course. I've been watching this Versions list for maybe a year. The negative traffic has chilled any thoughts I had for actually using Versions for anything. I'm waiting until I see a lot less negative on the list before putting my toe in the water. Also, if neither Versions nor Cornerstone can be fully integrated into the code development we do in Eclipse, then I'm at a loss as to why we should use either. Bob Robert P.
