I am using the Beta 2 version of MyEclipse and I have a question in the area of team-based development with CVS.

I created an EAP project called test; this resulted in the creation of three projects: 1. test, 2. testEJB and 3. testWeb

I created some Session Beans and JSP pages and everything works fine.

I then performed the Team > Share Project… functionality to bring these three projects into the CVS repository that I had defined earlier.

At this point all is well.

However when another developer retrieves these three projects for the first time into their MyEclipse workspace from the CVS repository the following files show up as having been changed:

test > .mymetadata
test > META-INF > application.xml
testEJB > .mymetadata
testWeb > .mymetadata

The contents do not appear to have been changed, so I am assuming that this is a case where the timestamp was changed on the files in question.

If I do not include these files in my initial “upload” to the CVS repository then the subsequent retrieval from CVS results in a workspace that is unstable and unable to properly deploy the projects to the WebLogic Application server that I defined in MyEclipse.

The developers do not want to see that they have outgoing changes on a project when in fact there are no outgoing changes and this prompted this question.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Cor Ruiten

P.S. I was not sure if this was a support forum question or a configuration forum question…

Cor,

Once the projects have been checked out and the first builds done, you should be able to do a ‘Replace with…’ on the metadata / application.xml files and they shouldn’t be rewritten again unless you modify the project relationships, web root dir name, context path, or something else along those lines.

Thank you very much, that seems to do the trick.
