[p4] Indicator for Modified Files on Eclipse?

Thu May 24 20:25:22 PDT 2007

So here is what I did:
- Used P4V to get the latest revision of A.java from the repository
- Used Eclipse to open A.java
- Added a space to one of the comments and saved it.  At this point, there was a red-check on the top left corner.
- Then, I removed the space manually and saved, and I did a team-refresh.  The red-check was still on the top left corner.
- Then, I did a diff, it said no difference.

I will try out your suggestion #2 at work tomorrow.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Hei

Well, probably something else is a problem...me/my team has not experienced
that issue (have about 45 Perforce users using P4WSAD).  You can still have
a file checked out with no changes, so the diff does not apply.

To help diagnose:
1. What did you do to revert the checkout?

2. Open the P4Log Eclipse view and view it.  Then do the Team -> Refresh and
review the messages in the P4Log.  Perhaps an error message displays...

Umm...I tried to manually team->refresh on a file, the
status is still "check out" although I have already
revert the changes back.  When I did team->diff
file(s) against depot, it said that there was no
difference.  But the check-out sign is still there.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Hei
