[p4] Indicator for Modified Files on Eclipse?

[Jeff Jensen]

Regretfully the plugin does not auto-refresh the Perforce files status.  If
you manipulate files outside of Eclipse, then to have the Eclipse plugin
display the correct status, you must manually do Team -> Refresh (on a file,
directory, or project).

A year or two ago, I requested a P4WSAD enhancement to auto-refresh the
status in a background thread, with a configurable frequency.  Please email
support at perforce.com to also request this feature.

I think that in Eclipse, if I edit the file, it is automatically
checked-out.
I use p4v to view the file, it is marked as checked-out as well.
If I use Eclipse with CVS, I can just do a update, the "modified
decorator(an right arrow)" will disappear if there is no difference between
my local copy and the copy in the repository.
I just wonder whether there is a way to make the check-out sign (red-check)
disappear if there is no difference between my local copy and the copy in
the repository.
Any idea?


Cheers,
Hei

Use the 'check consistancy' menu item in the team menu

Yes, next to the name of the file is stated "<edit>". =(

I have followed your steps and played around.
I found that Eclipse put a red-check on the top right corner after I made
some changes without checking-in.  However, after I reversed the changes to
match the original file in the repository, the red-check didn't go away.
Is there away to make it go away if the local file is in-sync with file in
the repository?
Thanks in advance.


Cheers,
Hei

I believe that label decorators are not on by default with P4WSAD.  We tell
our developers to do the following after installing the p4 plugin:

Eclipse -> Preferences:
  General → Appearance → Label Decorators, enable Perforce
  Team → Perforce, configure as desired
  To set the perforce status icons to the same as you’d see in P4V or
P4Win, Team → Perforce → Label Decorators → File Decorator Icons:
    Indicators for files open for add/edit/delete = top left
    Indicators for files synced to head = bottom right
    Indicators for files not synced to head = bottom right
    Indicators for unresolved files = bottom left
    Indicators for locked files = bottom left
    Indicators for files open in other workspaces = top right
