After trying to search for some information about "Dynamic change of changelog.txt file with IDE", i found nothing that could help me to find the answer.
Imagine that I've made some changes in numerous files (PHP Environment) using Eclipse PHP or JetBrains PHPStorm 3+, and i want to commit them into svn repository. Is it possible to configure any of these IDEs to dynamically fill changelog.txt file in predefined format with informations (Date, SVN Comment, etc...) ?
Thanks in advance for any info which will point to the answer.
Not aware of any plugins that do this automatically, but you could write a script using command-line svn tools (svn utilities are installed by default on Linux; on Windows you can use CollabNet SVN or similar). You can pull the svn logs and redirect to changelog.txt in a format you desire.
You can also do this in python using pysvn module.

Is there any way to make Beyond Compare 3 the default diff tool in Eclipse?
I'm using the Mercurial plugin and would like to use BC3 for diffing files and handling merge conflicts.
I'm only able to find solutions when it comes to CVS or SVN when searching this site.
See the following query for discussion on external diff tool for Mercurial Eclipse.
http://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main/issue/310/external-diff-tool
It suggests that standard approach for setting up external diff tool should suffice. So setting up ".hgrc" should work.
Since this is no different from any other setup, you can test it by using hg commands in shell. See if that throws any errors and then check out with eclipse.
The setting for external merge tool is available in the plugin settings.
http://bitbucket.org/mercurialeclipse/main/wiki/Installation_and_Configuration#main-preferences
[edit: with hgrc]
This will work when you use command line.
The following "ExtdiffExtension" extension should help.
The extdiff Mercurial extension allows you to use external programs to compare revisions, or revision with working dir. The external diff programs are called with a configurable set of options and two non-option arguments: paths to directories containing snapshots of files to compare.
You need to install Beyond Compare Eclipse Plugin (Beyond CVS) which would provide this functionality.
Cheers!!!
I've been using Eclipse to do CVS checkout from within the Eclipse interface. Is it possible to do it using the command line just like any normal CVS program? When I type CVS in my command prompt now, I get the usual
cvs is not recognized as an internal or external command
but CVSing should be possible since it's part of Eclipse. Do I need to make changes to the environment vars? or what's needed
You need to install CVS to use it in a command line.
The document "Eclipse Compatibility with CVSNT and CVS 1.12.x" mentions:
The Eclipse CVS client is a Java implementation of a CVS client that does not require any other CVS client to be installed.
The advantage of this is that Eclipse CVS can be used without requiring the user to install any additional software.
See also compatibility FAQ:
1/ Does Eclipse use [WinCVS|CVS command-line client] to talk to the server?
No. Eclipse implements a CVS client in Java that talks directly to the server using the documented CVS protocol. No external CVS client is required.
2/ The command-line CVS client stores information in CVS folders. Does Eclipse do the same thing? If so, where are the folders?
Eclipse stores CVS sync information in CVS/ folders in the same way as the command-line CVS client does.
However, you rarely see these folders within Eclipse. They are marked using a Core facility called "team-private" which causes them to be hidden from view.
If you open a (non-Eclipse) file explorer you will see that these directories and their contents appear on the file system.
3/ Is Eclipse compatible with the command-line CVS client?
Eclipse Team CVS stores its meta information in a format that is compatible with the command-line CVS client. Thus you should be able to use a CVS command line client against Eclipse workspace files on disk. Please note that this support is experimental, and you may run into problems.
I know that when using Subversion, adding/copying/renaming files must be done via 'svn add' or 'svn copy' etc. In my Eclipse IDE, I use Subclipse to work with subversion. It's easy enough to add text-based files to version control (ie. php/html/js files) - but how do I properly add images to version control using Subclipse?
Thanks, Brian
If it turns out that you can't, just use SVN or (if on Windows) Tortoise to add the files outside of Eclipe, directly from the file system.
I am using Subversive plugin for Eclipse to connect to SVN Code repository.
Our code base is so huge, that am finding it difficult to search for files.
I am not able to find files using Ctrl+F key also.
Is there anyway I can search for specific files in this plugin.
thanks in advance,
Regards,
PK
NO there is no search function in subversive (and not in svn either).
You can do a small workaround:
svn ls -R [YOUR_PROJECT_REPO_URL] > all_files.txt
will list all files in your repo into the file all_files.txt (Caution: This will take some time..maybe start it of friday and let it run through the weekend..). After retreiving the file you can just search via your favorite texteditor(or eclipse).
Sure this is just a workaround, and you can not update this textfile in shorter time, but if you do not rely on most current versions it is a workaround
Hello is there a way to use svn command line from eclipse?
Within eclipse in my project browser i can righclick and then click team and than i have something like svn. Not sure which plugin it is. But it doesn't have button's to for example ignore files for uploading. That's why I want to to it command line. And my question is how to do it.
Ok so how can I use it from command line in windows xp?
The plugin you are probably using is Subclipse. It should have an "Add to svn:ignore" option. If not, try updating to the latest versions of Eclipse and Subclipse. In general subclipse should be enough and there is no need for the command line.
For Windows XP I recommend Tortoise SVN. It integrates with the Windows Explorer and offers you a graphical environment for all your needs. I would say that is much more stable than subclipse and very easy to use.
If you do want to use the command line tools, download and install svn-win32 from here. The command line tools could be helpful in merge and copy operations.
I should also point out that none of these methods interfere with each other. You can work with Tortoise SVN or the command line and subclipse won't be affected. All svn clients work by writing and reading from hidden directories called .svn. There is one such directory in every folder under source control. As long as the svn client software is of the same version, an svn client can write to these hidden folders and another one will be able to read from it. A problem could arise if one of the clients is updated to a version that uses a different protocol for writing to the .svn folders. In that case, older clients won't be able to read the information stored there. Upgrading them to the latest version will solve the problem.
Not sure what you're trying to do; sometimes it's better to describe the goal rather than the means you plan to do it.
Have you tried Subeclipse? It lets you use SVN inside Eclipse; it's great.
I'm not sure if you can use it from Eclipse, but nothing stops you from just using it. From cmd / xterm / whatever. It's not going to interfere with Eclipse in anyway, nor will it interfere with Subclipse (which I'm assuming is what you're using).
I'm using subclipse, and in generaly it works pretty well.
However, and I guess this is your problem, the Team Synchronization by default wants to add all files in my projects, not just the ones I add to version control. This is lame and frustrating, and apparently there's no way to turn it off. Screenshots for older versions, however, hints at the possibility of turning the "feature" off. Frustrating!
I'm not personally a fan of Subclipse - it slows the IDE a bit too much for my taste. Here is an alternative approach using External Tools and TortoiseSVN
Create a new External Tool
Call it SVN Commit
Set the Location to \bin\TortoiseProc.exe (mine is C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe)
Set the arguments to /command:commit /path:"${selected_resource_loc}"
Open the file / directory you want committed and run the external tool.
Interchange the commit in step four for additional commands. You can also add the specific tools to favorites and have them in a dropdown on the toolbar.
Additional Arguments Here
Not intended to be too presumptuous here, but I think you should look at whether Subversive or Subclipse actually solves problem in a different way than you intended. For instance, it is very much possible to ignore files and directories from being checked in, via Subclipse.
On the other hand, if you really want to hack away via the command prompt from Eclipse, you must install the Target Management project (supported for Eclipse Europa and Ganymede). Once you have that installed, you can launch a remote shell to your local machine and then type away on the command line :).
PS: I haven't used this approach ever; Subversive satisfied all my requirements of a SVN plugin in Eclipse.
