How to view recent CVS project changes in Eclipse?

Question

Is there a way in Eclipse to view all recent changes of a project? Like in SVN, you can just go "view log" on a right-click menu of a folder. In CVS/Eclipse, I can only view history on a certain file. I am not able to see what files were changed in the last commit. >.<''

Thank you!

Answer 1

You could do diff based on time. See what changes have been committed during last couple days, for example.

It's rather awkward in Eclipse, but you can go into CVS Repositories view, click "Dates", enter the "from" date, and then navigate to project you want to find changes, choose "Compare With" and choose "to" date. And then you will see changes that happened during that time.

Answer 2

I don't think it's supported through the standard Eclipse plugin.

There was a sourceforge project that tried to augment this functionality, not sure if it's still actively being maintained.

Answer 3

I don't find nothing insiede the tool in Eclipse. I prefer to use CommitMonitor to monitor SVN History of project (entire project, branch/s, tag/s). It runs in systemtray and advert you every seconds.

Answer 4

As mentioned in this thread or in the CVS FAQ:

"see what files were changed in the last commit":

Would that not be the equivalent of selecting the " Compare With>Another Branch or Version " operation from the context menu of the project ?

Answer 5

Until I don't have plugin that can do the job from Eclipse, I use file history from the ROOT of the repository.

If You not see file history in ROOT then create it with

REPOSITORY_HOME\CVSROOT>echo>history

After that all actions on the repository will be saved in form:

u4f2c09af|dejanr|MyPC|src|1.5|Main.java|

Note:all users need to have rw rights to 'history' file

Answer 7

Doing this turned out surprisingly simple for me:

• In SVN Repositories view, right click any directory, including repository root
• Pick Show history from the context menu
• Revisions will be shown in the History view, like Show log in Tortois
