Installation and use of Eclipse3.3 (MyEclipse6.0) VSS (Visual SourceSafe)

First, download the VSS plugin

You can go to the official website and download the latest Org.vssplugin_1.6.2eclipse VSS plugin here http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/. The file size is about 1MB.

Second, the installation

1. The download back to the. rar compression Package decompression, get the folder named org.vssplugin_1.6.2.

2. Place the folder together with all the files under it under the Plugins folder under the Eclipse installation directory (MyEclipse in the Plugins folder under the Eclipse directory under the MyEclipse installation directory).

3. Open Eclipse (MyEclipse) and open the help/about ... menu, click "Plugin-details" in the dialog box that appears, you can view all the plug-ins that are currently installed, see if there are any org.vssplugin_1.6.2 packages that have just been installed, and if so, the installation is successful, and if not, you need to turn off eclipse (MyEclipse), and then put Eclipse (or myeclipse/eclipse) All directories and files in the configuration directory in the directory except Config.ini files are deleted, so that you can clear the previous configuration, and then restart Eclipse (MyEclipse) to see the installed plug-ins.

Three, simple use

1. Configure the Project

Right-click the project name in Eclipse (myeclipse), select "Tean/shareproject", then select Vssconfigurationwizard, and Next, fill in the configuration, as shown below:

Username/password, user name and password for the user's VSS.

Vssdirectory,vss the directory where the SourceSafe.Ini file resides on the server, navigate to the directory on the server and select the directory.

SourceDir, the name of the project you want to share, if you are sharing an entire project, you do not need to enter a name, if only part of the shared project directory, you need to enter the directory you want to share, you can also click to select the directory you want to share. Generally share all the code for an item, using the default "/" On it, you don't need to change it.

Relativemountpoint refers to the same level of directory on the VSS server that you share with the project, such as the name of the project you shared above, "MyProject", and the directory where you "MyProject" on the VSS server is "$source/ Myporject ", that needs to be filled out in the" $source/myporject ".

If you see the Unabledtofindany vssinstalltion as shown in the figure. You have not installed the Microsoft VSS software on your machine, you need to install the VSS client (approximately 200 MB of the total installation file), after installation, this error message will not appear here.

2. Simple to use

Once the installation is complete, the use in Eclipse (MyEclipse) is simple and similar to the use of a separate VSS client. Right-click on a file or directory, and then select the commands in the "team", such as Checkout,checkin, and so on, checkout file will display a hook in front of the file name, the file name behind the checkout display of the user name.

However, when a project is shared using a VSS plug-in, the file that is checkout in the directory is appended with parentheses to indicate which user moved out, and the checkout user is displayed after the first shared project, but it is not displayed the next time the eclipse is turned off. The problem solution is as follows, open window-->preferences-->general-->apperance--> Labledecorations the Vsspluginteamdecortor hook on the line, the following figure, the last item on the right:

When using this plug-in, it cannot immediately update the checkout and checkin State of the file, and it needs to be manually updated by right-clicking the file name (or directory or the entire project directory) and selecting "Team/updatestate".
