I have activated the option “Configure projects to use Watch/Edit on Checkout” (Windows – Preferences – Team – CVS – Watch/Edit). When I checkout my application (EnterpriseApp, WebApp and several Java projects), MyEclipse starts to build the Workspace, but the progressbar indicates always 0 percent. I cannot stop the build process, I have to use the taskmanger to abort MyEclipse.

I guess that this is a MyEclipse Bug. When I disable the option, MyEclipse always tries to change the .mymetadata File (CVS Label Decorator show that the file has changed, but diff says local version and remote version are identical)

If you monitor the memory usage of Eclipse does it keep going up and up if you let this run?

[Christian Paetzold]

Memory ussage is stable (starts with 58M and increase until 92 MB during checkout). When building, the Java process uses 0 percent CPU Time and memory ussage is still stable.

I tried the same with Eclipse 3.0.1 and checkout + build workspace works fine.

Bernhard,
You have us stumped… the rebuild of the metadata file is expected, we do this to ensure up-to-date metadata, but the problem with CVS team tooling not working appropriate is strange, we have no code in MyEclipse that ties into the team tools… are you able to find any other exceptions or errors that might uncover what is going on?

[Christian Paetzold]

I only know that all files are read-only when using the option “Configure projects to use Watch/Edit on Checkout”. This may prevent rebuilding the file .mymetadata.

I hope this information helps you.

Bernhard,
If this is the case then one of our developers says you will need to disassociate the .mymetadata file from CVS since it cannot be write locked, and this very well might be what is causing this trouble.
