Jbuilder Integration

Regean · Post by **Regean** » Fri Nov 26, 2004 8:13 pm

I work with Jbuilder 2005 and I want to integrate Source Vault in the IDE. There's a way to do this ?

Thanx

Roger

At the present time, Vault supports IDE integration only with VS.NET, Visual C++ and Visual Basic 6.

We haven't tested Vault with JBuilder. Although many IDE's use the same Microsoft integration .dll, the implementation is often different.

I'll log a feature request for integration with JBuilder 2005.

Any progress on this? Does Vault work with JBuilder?

No, not at this time. It's on the feature request list, but we don't have a time frame as yet.

Just wondering if you have any further updates on integration with JBuilder. Do you have any timescales as yet?
Thank you.

I'm not sure if this thread is dead or not, but I also use JBuilder and am evaluating Vault as a source control solution. It seems like a great product, but without being integrated with my IDE the value goes way down because there's nothing to stop me from working on a file without checking it out. I see VSS as a choice in JBuilder for source control, so I'm hoping it's not a big deal for you guys to create the integration. Any word on when/if you'll do this?
Thanks.

It's still on the feature request list, but we don't have a timeframe for implementation.

I thought that too, but then I moved from VSS with IDE integration to Vault with no integration, and rarely, if ever, miss it. The IDE integration has always been less than what I needed to do with the standalone GUI, so I was always running the standalone GUI anyway.

I assume that JBuilder would prevent you from editing a read-only file (or at least have this as an option). If so, then that's what stops you from working on a file without checking it out.

Another option is to not worry about checking anything out, and use the "don't require checkout before checkin" development style. I know EXACTLY what you're thinking, "but, but, but... you have to check things out before you work on them... that's just the way it is." I was there about a year and a half ago. I've gone half way to the other side, and will never go back. I say half way, because I still have my local files read-only so I at least get some warning before I change the header file that causes the 3 hour rebuild. Visual Studio warns me before I save the file, asking me if I want to make it writable. Vault notices that the file has been edited, and adds it to my pending change set.

I guess I'm a little confused. I have to admit I've never used VSS or vault, but I've used StarTeam a lot. In that environment, the working files on my local drive are not read only, and if I made them read-only, I would think that when I check an object out vault (or StarTeam) would not be able to save the checked out file to my working dir.

Are you saying your local files are all read-only, then when you check a file out vault overwrites the local copy and sets it to not read-only? ... if that's the case, how do you get it set back to read-only after the check in?
Thanks.

When Vault gets a new file to your disk, it makes it read-only (because that's how you've configured it.) When you check out a file, it is made writable. When you check it in again, it is made read-only again. This is how VSS works as well.

So, in order to edit a file, you need to either check it out, or make it writable yourself. If your IDE will do this task for you, then it will be very easy to do this. If you have to make the files writable manually because the IDE won't help you, then it can be very tedious.

We use vs.net & jbuilder... it'll be great if sourcegear could integrate with jbuilder.
