– Message Body ——————————-

The ‘current work file’ in the compare window doesn’t show the correct contents, or at least not the same as the editor view. Select a version of the file to go back to, hit REPLACE, nothing happens.
No error log entries appear.
A refresh on the file, close and re-open the editor view doesn’t fix it.
Regards
Brett

Brett are you talking about CVS functionality, local history, what?

Please walk me through step-by-step to reproduce.

[Brett Connor]

I am talking about local history. I did the usual – I was trying to fix a JSP; checked it out (not from an integrated version control), made some edits, saved perhaps 5 times, decided it was too broken for me to quickly fix, wanted to go back to the second saved version since my checkout.
R click on the file in “Package explorer” -> “Replace with” -> “local history…”,
in the usual ‘compare files’ view I selected the version I wanted to go back to (differences showed correctly, initially at least), hit “replace”.
Nothing changed in my source view for the JSP. I refreshed, closed and re-opened, tried “replace” several times, all of which failed silently.

Did you check your log file for exceptions? <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log

[Brett Connor]

Yes. There were no exceptions in the log file.

[Riyad Kalla]

I have filed this for investigation, on initial tested I was unable to reproduce this with the Java Editor, XML Editor or Ant editor, unfortunately I don’t have a JSP that had a local history handy but will try and create a test case for this.
