[defect report] perforce plugin not working in carbide.c++ project explorer

[simo.salminen]

Hi,

The "The Perforce Plug-in for Eclipse" doesn't work very will with carbide.c++.

Subversion plugin works fine with Carbide.C++. It adds version control features (additional file state icons and additional commands) to project explorer. However, when using Perforce plugin, the project explorer doesn't have them.

Perforce plugin is only usable using from Perforce perspective in Carbide. This is quite limited, because for example one has to change the perspective to open file for edit.

I believe there is something wrong in Carbide that doesn't play will with Perforce plugin. Sure, it might be a Perforce plugin problem, but the plugin does work in regular Eclipse, so something is different in Carbide. It is unclear if this is Carbide or Perforce plugin problem.


If Carbide dev team could perhaps investigate this issue, so if this is indeed Perforce problem, I can then address them about this.


(I've emailed about this before directly to dev team, hopefully this forum posts gets more attention).

Perforce works fine with Carbide, you must however remember to share the project using "Team|Share Project"

Also, remember to go to Windows|Preferences, Under "General|Appearance|Label Decoration" and configure how you want the decoration in the tree view to be displayed.

The Perforce plugin manual is also quite useful in the help system. "Help|Help Contents|Perforce SCM"

This rocks, thanks!


(To clarify if someone stumbles to this problem, right-click on project at C/C++ Projects window, then select Team->Share Project).
