When we do a compare between a local file and a server file, in Visual Studio we are able to make changes to the local file within the compare dialog (e.g. copy / paste) and to save those changes.

Within the Eclipse compare dialog we can make changes, too, but they are not saved! There are even no Pending Changes detected.

Further, if we make changes within the compare dialog and we try to close Eclipse, there is a warning dialog, that there are changes which are not saved. If we click Yes to save those changes, nothing is saved.

Details (expand)

Team Foundation Server 2012

Within Eclipse compare a local file with a server file.
Within the compare dialog on the local side of the source code, do some changes.
Save those modifications.
Check the local source code file.

Code changes within the compare dialog are not saved.

Code changes within the compare dialog must be saved.
In VS this works as expected.

Looking into this issue now. If you are using a compare editor (i.e. you have done something like View History and then right clicked on a single changeset to do a compare with the current local workspace version) then this should be working as expected. There are areas where we show a modal compare dialog and in these the save button should not be enabled (especially if the version you are comparing against is not the local workspace version). I will dig into this some more to check the save button enablement logic but also see if we can correctly have the save button enabled in more circumstances than we do today.

Can you let me know exactly which version of Eclipse you are running?

Many thanks,

Martin.

Yes, but this is a TFS Eclipse Plugin bug!
