[p4] Has the Eclipse plug-in's refactoring behavior changed?

[steve at vance.com]

It's marked as an add because in Java it needs to edit the file in order to
change the class or package name. When you edit a branch operation, the
short-hand for that is also add although it's a different type of
integration record internally if you look at the integration history.

2008.2

I just got an email from one of the users and they've confirmed
that it IS doing the right thing, but the icons in the change
list are slightly different from what P4V shows when the
Rename/Move menu item is used. Their icon for the new file is
marked as an "add", when I use P4V to do a rename I see it marked
as a branch. That was where the confusion came in, I think.

The result is correct, though, once it is submitted. Maybe P4V
has more state information when it does the operation as opposed
to displaying a change list generated by another client.

Thanks.

P4WSAD - New Features included for Release 2009.1

Support for renaming and moving files multiple times prior to submitting.

>From p4d release notes:

Major new functionality in 2009.1

	#177023 * **
	    The new 'p4 move' command allows for better support for
	    renaming files.  A file must be already opened for 'edit'
	    or 'add' in order to be moved.  Moved files can be synced,
	    resolved and diffed against the repository just like files
	    opened for 'edit'.  See 'p4 help move' for more info.

What server are you on?
