Support ext in version control

[junior]

Why doesn't EA support ext in version control while accessing a CVS repository? AS you all know Eclipse supports this protocol, so it's very annoying to use several configurations for the same repository.

Is there any idea if this protocol will be supported?

I see your point. To ease your angst why not talk to IBM and the open source development community at Eclipse? Perhaps Eclipse will support the same protocol as EA...

I know, I'm not overly sympathetic (although certainly empathetic). Still, significant investment is involved, both products (EA and Eclipse) work with version control as is, and for both the effort could be well spent on other things.

Still, it might be worth making a request rather than voicing a complaint. There might be interest in either or both camps.

Because I pay for EA

Other things include for example, allow new protocols support.

That's really the best idea! I will include this one there. By the way, I've done that for other stuff I would like to see in EA but I never got any feedback... that's a shame.

Yes, you get used to the black hole that is the Sparx feature/bug system...

However, occasionally, just occasionally, some things do appear above the event horizon.  The new Notes compartment for example...

Just keep them cards and letters rollin' in...

Also, by noting your requests in the forum, and placing a reference back to the topic in the message.  That way, the Sparxians can see any ongoing discussion... If you get a response, please add it to the topic.

This is what happens why you have no power in the grand scheme of things. I am in the same situation. Our CVS rep is ext not pserver and I am experiencing the same time of errors. So if anyone gets some feedback from Sparx... shoot it this way.
