Features

Add Files/Folders

You can add the files and folders which are not currently in the SourceJammer archive. These files will show up in the traditional red color. The plugin automatically skips files/folders which are already in SourceJammer.

Checkout Files/Folders

You can check out multiple folders and files with just one click. All checked out files, show the username to whom the file is checked out and a "tick" icon next to every checked out file.

Checkin Files/Folders

You can check in multiple folders and files with just one click. If your selection has files which are not checked out, the plugin will ignore them.

Update Files/Folders

You can update checked out file/folders on the server, with your local copy, in a single step. Basically, this action carries out a checkin and then a checkout.

Get Files/Folders

You can get multiple files and folders. If you are trying to get over an already checked out file, the plugin will warn you.

Force Checkin Files/Folders

You can force check in multiple folders and files with just one click. If your selection has files which are checked out or which are not under version control, the plugin will ignore them.

Decorations

If your version of a file is different from that on SourceJammer, it is displayed in the traditional green color. If you have files which SourceJammer does not, they are displayed in red. Checked out files show the little green tick icon along with the name of the user they are checked out to.You can change the colors in the preferences.

Automatic Connections

The plugin can automatically connect to the SourceJammer archives for the project.

Multiple projects and archives

You can work with multiple projects and archives in the same workspace.

Persistent Login Info

Once you have setup the SourceJammer login properties for a project, you can forget about it. The plugin will remember these credentials forever.

Logging

The plugin uses Log4j for loggin. All activity is stored in a log file. To set the location of this file, please open up the jar (use WinRAR etc.) and update log4j.properties. Just change the "path" property to point to the desired location. If you want detailed logs, change INFO to DEBUG. For more information please check out the log4j website.

NOTE

Please TEST the plugin with a new archive before using on a production system.
