Eclipse and Visual source safe

[Ajay Gautam <aj...@comcast.net>]

Hello,

At my office, the managers have given us flexibility to use our own IDE. 
Unfotunately, they are still stuck with using Visual Source Safe for 
source control (Please do not ask why).

I see that Eclipse integrates seemlessly with CVS. Has anyone woked in 
eclipse in VSS environment ? Any work arounds ?

I cannot really use the "import feature" because:

1. it seems to *copy* everything from the checked out directory to the 
workspace directory. which will break the linkage of the directory with VSS.

2. If I link VSS to the workspace directory, any new files that are 
created by other in the team will not be reflected in the workspace, 
when I get latest from VSS.

3. Its not a good solution. Its dreadful.

Plese help an eclipse newbie.

Thanks

Take a look at
http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp?category=Team - there
seem to be at least two plugins for SourceSafe.

Good luck!
