Hi!

My problem is that most of my projects in the workspace always apperars to be different, compared to the CVS, because of the .mymetadata file. Opened in the compare editor I can’t see any difference. If I “Overwrite and update” the local file, it still shows some difference. It it very annoying, all my colleagues have this bug since MyEclipse 6.5 to MyEclipse 8.5.

What causes this problem? Do you have any ideas? Can someone help me with this?

Thank you

jabal33,
I shall escalate this issue to the dev team. They will get back to you on this.

i have an other bug as well..
some projects in the workspace always appear in the synchronize view, but there are no files under them (even when the sync is started from navigator panel).

is there any public issue tracking system where I could follow the status of this bug?

[jabal33]

and one more again:

many times when we merge a branch back to HEAD the Synchrinize view lists several files, as you can see on the screenshot below, but when opened in difference view, we can’t see any real difference. this is a very annoying bug and we would be pleased to see some fixes on it.

could you send this bug report to the dev team as well?

Dear MyEclipse support, could you confirm that my second and third bug reports were read and processed? If I am reporting bugs at a wrong place please tell me where shall I report them.. 🙂

jabal,

The first and third reported are caused by the fact that files are overwritten with exactly the same content, or you could have made a change in a file, saved it, manually undo the change and then save again. As the file timestamp has been modified, even though it has exactly the same content as what is in the repository, it will show in compare / synchronize views. This behavior is by design.

I am filing a bug against MyEclipse, so that we avoid rewriting the .mymetadata file unless necessary.

As far as the second issue you reported, this is an Eclipse issue; you can find / report it under the Platform Product and Compare component here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/query.cgi
I tried a quick search but could not find a report describing this situation, though I have seen it from time to time in a vanilla Eclipse installation. I usually solve this by doing a “replace with > latest from head / repository” as “override and update” does not seem to remove the project from the synchronize view.

Hope this helps.

It still happens.

Very confusing. It looks like it is a difference in white space, but it is not. I can commit it, it always remain at version 1.1.
