Editing read-only files [message #171275]

Eclipse has a handy-dandy feature that allows pessamistic source control
systems, to realize when a user is "first editing" a file under source
control, so that it can be checked out before editing.

However, I frequently find that Eclipse will not do this. Usually this is
after I've been asked once, and declined to check it out, or after I've
been editing a file, and checked it back in.

How can inform Eclipse it needs to reset this "state" to be "before first
edit", both as a user (Refresh doesn't do it), and as a plugin.

Thanks.
David

You should file a bug report with detailed steps against platform-text.
