I’m using MyEclipse 6.5 on Linux, Ubuntu 8.04. If I edit an XML file or JSP (I think anything with tags) and then try to sync with a SVN repository, the diff of my local version and the remote file indicates that the whole file has changed; it doesn’t give a line-by-line comparison. The repository contains files that were edited on Windows. The reason I’m starting to think it’s a MyEclipse issue is because if I edit files with Emacs and then do an SVN diff outside of MyEclipse, it’s fine. It seems like as soon as MyEclipse touches the file, it gets corrupted or something.
Is this a line break issue? Encoding? I’m at the end of my rope here. Thanks.
It’s the SVN client behavior that determines the diff calculation. If your using Subclipse versus Subversive, the behaviors could be different. Also there might be settings under Window > Prefs > Team > SVN that you could jack with to check this out.
I solved my problem by setting the line delimiters to Windows in Window > Prefs > MyEclipse… > Files and Editors > XML. I’ve since upgraded to 7.0-M2 and the option is GONE, completely gone. What do I do now? Where did it go?
There is a new universal setting under General > Workspace > New text file line delimiter… That should do the trick.
