(Answer) (Category) FAQ-O-Matic : (Category) JBuilder 6 General :
JB6's CVS Checkin/Checkout isn't updating jpx files. Is this a bug, or a feature?
That depends on who you talk to. According to Borland, it's a feature.

When you check in/out a project using the obvious Team | Check* items, JBuilder 6 forcibly excludes the jpx files from the checkin. There is now a 'Sync Project Settings' item in the Team Menu which *SELECTIVELY* updates properties in the jpx files. It doesn't just check in jpx files, it picks and chooses information to update and ignores the rest. This selective update crap really wreaks havoc with my own projects, and I filed it as a bug. I was told it was not a bug and working as designed, so wouldn't be fixed.

I've had so much trouble using this that I no longer use the team menu for much at all, I've resorted to a cvs command line tool instead. I configure the project to support cvs for the stuff in the source pane, and I sometime use the project update/diff stuff, but I almost never use checkin/checkout at all now.

Well, if this is working as "designed" then I'm thinking this was a poor design. This same exact issue has had me cursing at my screen for a few days now. I too have resorted to a command line cvs just to do the project update/commit. JBuilder 5 was a solid product but I am finding all sorts of bugs in JBuilder 6. I hope Borland hears us on this one and at least fixes this bug, er feature.

Previous: (Answer) I have some JUnit test cases for an application. When I pull up the test's context menu, JBuilder doesn't offer the 'run test' or 'debug test' items. Tests I create with the New Test wizard do get these items, so why don't mine?
Next: (Answer) How do I use JBuilder to migrate EJB 1.1 beans to EJB 2.0?
