Re: [ jEdit-users ] jEdit and Clearcase - multiple views

[Nathan T. <eu...@ya...>]

What OS are you using, and are you using dynamic or
snapshot views?

I use jedit with snapshot views in Windows, and don't
seem to have this problem.  That's because in windows,
your views are simply treated as a separate directory
structure (at least that is how it is with snapshot
views, and I seem to remember something about it being
the same for dynamic views from my CC training).  I
don't know how it works for other operating systems.

I guess you could be simply loading files via the
command line, specifying the MVFS modifiers.  If that
is the case, then yes you will have a problem, because
jedit is not clearcase aware.
