My employer is evaluating MyEclipse as a UML modelling/diagramming tool. We use Perforce as our version control tool and want to store UML models/diagrams there too.

I installed the bundled Eclipse + MyEclipse Enterprise 5.1.1 GA (MyEclipse_5.1.1GA_FullStackInstaller.exe), and installed the P4WSAD plugin (2005.2.3573; see http://www.perforce.com/perforce/products/p4wsad.html) on top.

When I use MyEclipse to edit a .umr file which is under control of Perforce, the file isn’t opened for edit in Perforce; nor does this happen when I attempt to save the .umr file. Thus I get the “Read-only File Encountered” dialog.

In the same MyEclipse/P4WSAD configuration, .java files which are also under control of Perforce are opened for edit as soon as they’re modified in the Eclipse Java editor.

I found http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-9972-highlight-umr.html on MyEclipse UML integration with team plugins, but it doesn’t address this issue.

I don’t have access to a CVS or SVN repo to see whether this problem occurs with team plugins other than Perforce.

I can’t see any team settings in the MyEclipse preferences which might alter this behaviour.

Is there a way to get the UML editor to open the file for edit, or will we have to do this manually before saving the .umr file?

Richard,
You will need to do this manually for the time being. On our end I will file an issue on this behavior to see if we can look into this and see why the editor state-change is not triggering the Perforce plugin to see that the file is being edited. Sorry for the trouble.
