Version Control - EAP File Question.

[iran]

Is there a way to open the <Project Name>.EAP file in read-only mode and just check out and edit the individual xml package files?  This is much like Rational Rose does with its main MDL file and sub package CAT files.

Hello,

I think "Controlled Packages" would do the trick.

We have been doing that.  The issue we are having is that it seems like the EAP project file needs to be read/write so having it in source control and getting read-only copies has been workable, but annoying.   Team members copy the read-only version from their local repository to a working/temp directy and make it read/write. Team members checkout the "controlled package" when they want to edit it.  They checkout the EAP file when they want to add a new "controlled package" to it.  

The database controlled eap file would be great, however it seems that there is a bug in EAP where the tree showing files/packages/etc. automatically collapses when you are working in it while connected to a database.  For instance, when you right-click on a package the tree collapses.

Any advice would be great. Submitting a bug report now  :-/
