Re: VSS plug-in with WDSC for iSeries -- WDSCI-L

Dennis,
For question one, can you please give me more details on how you populated
the iSeries project and then did your check ins/outs? Im asking because the
Text Description of srcpfs and members is stored as "shared" metadata that
is checked in with your code into a Team Provider repository, and so it
should allways be safe. So I would need some more details on your steps.

For question two, this support is coming down the road (soon). Just to
clarify a bit. There is nothing called "the plugin icon". Each viewer has
its own set of icons, free at will. Now only viewers that support the
Eclipse Decorator Manager framework allow other external plugins. such as
VSS, to decorate there icons. The iSeries Projects navigator is guilty of
not supporting that, but it will be coming down the road.

Anybody have suggestions on this?

if it has been checked out, I think WDSC overlays the plugin icon with the
internal icon for iSeries source files (ie, local, remote, local/remote). Is
there a way that I ican have the plugin icon's displayed within the iSeries
Project Navigator view?
