Using the Plug-In for Eclipse › Add Project Folders to the Workspace Considerations

Add Project Folders to the Workspace Considerations

The following considerations apply to adding project folders (view paths) to the workspace:

If you select a CA Harvest SCM process, its corresponding placement option is displayed as a check box button. For a check-out process, the check box represents the check-out mode for all other processes' placement options. The enabled state and selected state of the check box depends on the privileges assigned by the administrator, for example:

• If the OnTrunk check box is disabled and selected, you have the privilege to use the OnTunk placement option only.
• If the OnTrunk check box is disabled and not selected, you have the privilege to use the OnBranch placement option only.
• If the OnTrunk check box is enabled and selected, you have the the privilege to use either the OnTrunk or OnBranch placement options. When you click Next or Finish, the context placement option for that process is OnTrunk.
• If the OnTrunk check box is enabled and not selected, you have the the privilege to use either the OnTrunk or OnBranch placement options. When you click Next or Finish, the context placement option for that process is OnBranch.
• If the Allow edit without checkout preference is not selected, make sure that your check-out mode and placement options for are appropriate for the processes you use.

Example: Allow edit without checkout Preference is Not Selected

This example shows the results of the Allow edit without checkout preference not selected, a check-out process for concurrent update, and the placement option for a rename item process is on trunk:

1. You attempt to rename a *.java file.
2. A check-out occurs because of the behavior of the Eclipse JDT plug-in).
3. A reserved-tag version of the file is created on a branch.
4. The rename process attempts to rename the version on the trunk and then fails.
