Please develop an Eclipse plugin. It's a free IDE that's quite popular among the Java set. About 90% of the java developers in my office use it.
3.0RC1 is out right now.

Thanks!

eclipse plugin
We're in the process of switching from VSS to sourcegear vault. If I had realized that no eclipse plugin existed (or was even planned), then I would have vetoed the use of this software.
However, an acceptable alternative would be if vault can be used with one of the other interfaces available. Eclipse unfortunately doesn't support the SCC interface (used by VSS), but it does support VSS (not using SCC), and it does support the pserver, ext, and extssh interfaces used by CVS. (I have never used CVS, so I don't know what any of those means.)
Does SourceGear vault support any of those other interfaces? Alternatively, is anyone aware of an eclipse plugin that supports the SCC api? Old versions of SlickEdit support SCC, but I don't know if their eclipse plugin does.

Re: eclipse plugin
DUDE! Please do some research before jumping to conclulsions! We are doing some MASSIVE development using ECLIPSE and VSS. All of us (100 team members) use the VSS Plugin ..Engineer42 wrote:We're in the process of switching from VSS to sourcegear vault.

This plugin BLOWS even VSS integration in VStudio.NET! It is awesome!
Thx.

Would be very interested
I'm fairly new to eclipse, but I noticed that the tool set *includes* plug-in builder tools...
I'd be willing to look at trying to build an Eclipse plug-in, but in all the time I've been using SoS, I've never found any documentation for the command line clients, so I'm basically brickwalled at that point
To any SG staff: Selling this concept to the planning/marketing people might require a little care; Eclipse is an open source GUI product, not exactly where they expect to be making any sales. The key is this: The majority of businesses are going to stay with Windows as a workstation for the foreseeable future - this is not a "religious" MS vs Linux, it's pure and simple inertia. However, this inertia does not apply to the server market.
You could either sell SoS with an accompanying Eclipse plug in - which will mean day-to-day activities can be executed from within the editor, but the consumer is still going to want SoS for larger, bulkier activities.
Eclipse does not obviate the need for SoS itself.

Re: eclipse plugin
yes, it's great, but DOES IT SUPPORT VAULT?! i can't stand the thought of giving up the awesome eclipse integration just because my company decided to switch to vault (which is a great RCS IMHO - at least great enough to be useable). please, someone tell me they've written an Eclipse Plugin for Vault. please, please, please...Anonymous wrote: DUDE!

so, now that SourceGear has proven itself in the RCS arena how about a killer bug-tracking tool to tie in with Vault?

Plug-in for Eclipse
There are two plug-ins for VSS and (to the best of my knowledge) neither uses the SCC interface (they both use COM). The two plugins are ESSTP and VSS (VSS seems to be much more current and popular). We currently use SoS, but because of a lack of integration with Eclipse we are considering moving to Subversion or CVS. The emphasis is on CONSIDERING... we are not looking forward to changing our VCS, so hopefully someone will save the day and come up with a SoS plug-in for Eclipse.

An Eclipse Plugin would be great
Im currently using the VSS plugin ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin ) which is excellent. I understand that it uses the com interface of the vss.exe to manipulate the vss database.
Is the vault.exe compatibly with the com interface published by vss.exe?
If not, the VSS plugin is opensource, you could contribute modifications to it adding support for vault.
We are currently evaluating vault, and it has many pros, but the absence of an Eclipse plugin is a serious con. We use Eclipse to develop ASP, .NET and Coldfusion code, and its integration with test tools has made it the basis for our automated test suite. Loosing integration with the code repository would increase the workload off our QA process ( as well as inconveniencing developers ).

To all the people that are pushing for the VSS plugin, let me remind you one thing: the goal of sourceoffsite (and vault I guess) is to have a better speed when accessing a VSS database from outside the company lan (from internet, VPN, remote site, etc.).
I've experienced this myself, this vss plugin is perfect when my computer is plugged to our company lan, but it's peformance is as bad as the native VSS client (ssexplore) whenever I try to access the VSS DB from home (adsl internet connection + VPN client).
The conclusion is that there is a real need for an eclipse sourceoffsite (vault) plugin and that many of us are expecting that sourcegear will deliver one soon. This other topic that I've initiated in another proof of what I'm saying here: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... ht=eclipse
