Eclipse PDT Helios SR1 Bug [Resolved]

Hi All,

Just was wondering as the same issue came to me when i started using Eclipse PDT Helios SR1. Also have found that this is a bug in Helios which do not allow one to sync and check the difference in the working repository and SVN repository.

Here is a discription of issue:

When I syncronized a php project, and double clicked a php file for comparing the differences I made compared to the base revision, it opened a window of a compared file, but the window was empty. I got gray background as if no file was opened.

When I opened files which are not set as a PHP file, that worked fine. So, I took .module file and defined it as .php file in content types preferences pane, it acted badly as described above. When i defined it again to .module it worked good as if I compared a plain text file.

Also, when I tried the same thing in Eclipse Galileo, it worked fine in all the cases, even if it is a .php as well for others.

So, just looked into my log and found out that there is Unhandled event loop exception in Helios causing the error.

So I researched on the same and found out that the this bug is been fixed in Galileo but not in the Helios. So, need to install the following update in the Helios.

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/updates/2.2/milestones.

To install this into your Helios follow the steps:

Go to Help -> Install New Software -> Click on add and enter the above url into the location text field and give a name to it. Now click on Ok.

It will look for the updates at that location and will give you the name and version of the update. click in check box to select it and click on next. It will check all the dependencies and will give you all the required update file list. Select them all and click on next. Sign the agreement of the update and click on finish. It will update the Eclipse.

Whoilla!!!!! here it is. your eclipse will work normally now with SVN sync.

Hope this will help you all.
