Eclipse questions

Ok, So I've been using eclipse with various plug-ins (Aptana, CF Eclipse, Flex Builder, Surround SCM, SVN) for a while now.  I have two nagging questions. 1. Is there a way I can split my main editor screen so I am look at and working on two different templates at once?  Not like a compare of e the same file, that's easy, I mean two totally different files. 2. I use two different source control applications, subversion for one job, surround SCM for another.  For some reason I constantly run into problems with both where I am not permitted to save changes and the system tells me that the file has been changed on the file system.  It hasn't and I have confirmed this.  Also, when I am trying to do a project wide search I get an error telling me that files were unable to be searched because they are out of synch with the repository, so I synch, and it still doesn't work.  Is this a problem with the plug-ins I am using?  Have I set something up incorrectly? Any help with these would be majorly appreciated as they are supper annoying. Thanks, Loathe

1. From my experience with eclipse there is no way to split the editor window.   2. Are you getting errors from the repository when you synch with it? This may sound dumb, but I used to get similar errors and if I refreshed the package explorer window it was fine.  However, the error I was getting was something to do with the files are out of synch with the file system.  It might be worth a try.

Yes.  If you have two files open, you can drag the editor tab of the second one down into the editor of the first.  If you want the split to be vertical, drag it to the right or left side.  You can drag it down to the bottom if you want the split to be horizontal. --------------- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

I'm guessing it's the network share issue.  They have it listed as a bug on their web site. I mean, I can do a save as to get around it, but it's annoying, plus I lose my undo history. Alt-f, a, enter, enter is a lot more than cntrl-s. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

A tip for a related issue: I have eclipse 3.2 with all the callisto tools (what the heck), and CFEclipse beta. This gave me a FieldAssist menu item (some plugin development feature, probably from one of the callisto updates), which prevents Alt+F from just opening fhe File menu. This was a real pain in the ***, especially when I can't just save, then have to do the Save As workaround, and then wonder why nothing happened. (argh) In case anyone else is fighting that, the fix is to customize the perspective (Window menu), go to the Commands tab, and uncheck "Field Assist Example Action Set" which gets rid of the menu. Then you'll need to do that in each other perspective you use. Or (just found this), add a shortcut key: go to Preferences, General/Keys, Modify, category File, name=Save As, and add a key sequence (I did ctrl+alt+S; ctrl+shift+S is save all) - David ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Open the two files you want to look at and drag one of the tabs to the left, until a gray box taking up half of the width of the current editor appears and release. >1.

Sweet, how do I undo it? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Drag the tab back onto the tab pane of the other window. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

Man, now if only I could figure out this source control garbage. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

You know, the error you talked about sounds a lot like problems I've heard of when people are using a mapped network drive.  You'd have to do some searching if that's the case, maybe in the CFEclipse mailing list archives. > Man, now if only I could figure out this source control garbage. > > > Drag one back into the other editor This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

I am using network drives, thanks for the pointer, I'll look for it. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

It seems like the problems people had were solved when they used RDS, but I use mapped drives and have never had any problems.  <shrug> ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more ----- This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

I will have to take a look at that. Thanks again guys. ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Ok, RDS was easy (thank you Adobe). Now how do I set up projects across it? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
