Hi I just installed Kepler and started using EGit. In the history view, changes checked in in the past are showing as xx days/weeks/months ago. Instead of these notations, I want to see the datetime details (or best to have both along side each other).
How do you config EGit to do that?
If it is not possible in the current config, I dont mind compiling my own patched version of EGit, please provide where the line of code lies.
Thank you
In the History view:
Click on the view menu (the triangle button)
Deselect Show > Relative Dates
Alternatively, change it in the preferences:
Go to Team > Git > History
Deselect Relative Dates

I just moved to IntelliJ IDEA after spending years working in Eclipse. Eclipse has "Quick Diff" option that allows me to choose color for each type of modification (new line added, line deleted and line modified). It compares my local changes and Git / SVN / CVS code, depending on what you choose. Does IntelliJ has this option or some plugin that does the same thing?
I'm sorry if this question has already been asked before. I tried to find it on IntelliJ's page, on Google and Stack-overflow.
IntelliJ will by default diff with the VCS that's set up for the project/module, but you can also diff two files by right-clicking on one of them and selecting Compare With....
To change the colors go to Settings > Editor > Color Scheme > Diff & Merge. The important color is the highlighting of the line in the diff view, the Error stripe mark color is the color shown in the gutter.
i am using an eclipse based IDE and have a library with some files that i need to make additions/changes to. what is the best way to quickly see the all the modifications of all files in a list/tab in eclipse IDE?
i know there is the useful "#TODO" tag that shows all tasks in a nice view/tab. as im using this quite heavily, i would like to have a special view/tab that just shows the modifications and separates them from the todos.
EDIT:
thx for the suggestions and the local history tipp.
sorry for not making myself clearer. ive added a screenshot.
when i add "TODO" the tasks show up in the tab marked in red - i dont mind setting manually something (like a bookmark) as im not going to make a lot of changes, but ideally they show up like the tasks or another simple overview.
It's could depend of your version control system.
For each, eclipse purpose an associated plugin with a specific view.
Instead that, you could use the History view (Team/ Show local History after a right clic on a file).
Eclipse keeps a history of your changes for a limited number of days (configured in 'Preferences > General > Workspace > Local History'). You can right click on a file and choose 'Compare With > Local History' to see the changes between revisions.
To track all your changes you need to use one of the source control systems (such as SVN, GIT, ...). Eclipse has plugins to support these systems. Once you have installed one of these you can use the 'Team' menu to commit changes and look at the history.
found it!
by clicking "window" - "Show view" - "other" one needs to select the "bookmarks". the bookmarks then show up as a tab next to tasks.
by clicking the right small arrow the bookmark view menu pops up (similiar to the screenshot above with the task menu). the bookmark view can then be configured/filtered by clicking the "Configure contents..." menu link.
I run into this problem a lot. Sometimes I would edit and forget about it in Eclipse or maybe keyboard moved randomly and input random characters. How do I view current changes compared to the last save easily in Eclipse? That way, I would know what changes took effect before I save.
If you just want to see what lines have changed, then you can follow the instructions in this answer in order to show a highlight of the changed lines on the left-hand side of your editor.
Aside from that I don't think it's easy to tell what's recently been changed without saving. If you do save then you have the option of comparing with the previous version: right-click on the file in the tree and choose "Compare With -> Local History" and then choose a version you saved earlier.
If you save it you can also compare against what's in source control, of course. You are using some sort of source control?
You can use either
compare editor-show changes between 2 or 3 files by showing each file side-by-side
First select the files on the Project Explorer with control-click.
Now right-click -> Select Compare With / Each Other.
or
Quick Diff - General > Editors > Text Editors > Quick Diff
Does anyone know UI tool (Eclipse plugin would be great, but any other, for Linux/Windows is acceptable) that allows to see difference of some part of code, but also allows switch between revisions quickly, e.g. by using slider.
I like the Team -> Show Annotation... functionality. It colors the left side of the editor and groups changed lines by color. When you hover over one section you get the commit details (revision/author/date/comment).
I've used SVN time lapse view with some success.
http://code.google.com/p/svn-time-lapse-view/
It would be nice if Tortoise SVN blame included this history slider feature.
Previously I've used command line SVN without any wrappers.
Few days ago I switched to Eclipse with Subversive and have problems with diffs.
Team Sync perspective with Compare view is OK, but it displays whole file, not just changes.
Where I can find something similar to "svn diff" output? I need only changes.
Eclipse Compare views show the entire file which makes sense, as its a GUI. In the Compare view, there are buttons in the top right that enable you to skip from diff to diff (down and up), and the right-hand margin shows locations. So, while its not exactly the same as the command-line, its just as functional. Also, it gives you context for the changes, not just the changed line.
If you need to output a report, that's a little different. You might be able to just click int the top pane, type Ctl-A to select all, Ctl-C to copy, and then paste into a text editor. That might give you just the changes.
