I’ve been having good results using Europa and MyEclipse 6.0M1. However, one annoyance has surfaced that I don’t recall being present in earlier versions.
If I rename a resource in webroot and then try to add the file to version control, I get a CVS error:
“The server reported an error while performing the ‘cvs add’ command.
zzz.com: cvs server: webroot/xxx.xhtml added independently by second party”As a workaround, I’ve found I have to first copy the source outside of Eclipse, delete the file I want to rename, commit the change, create a new file with the name I want, then copy the original source into the file. Whew! That simple refactoring requires far too much work!
Thanks.

I’ve been looking into this issue a little more. While it’s still a problem, it may be a problem only if the CVS repository is on Windows.
The specific refactoring I was doing was renaming a file through a case change only; i.e. renaming Foo.xhtml to foo.xhtml.
A simple workaround that may be acceptable is to simply delete the renamed resource from the CVS repository. Then, the renamed resource simply appears as a new addition. Of course, doing this causes history to be lost.
