Description Jeremy Handcock 2003-07-24 21:49:23 UTC

Description of problem:
Eclipse doesn't preserve the timestamps when importing files into the workspace
from the filesystem.  This could be problematic for tools that rely on
timestamps (ie. make).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse 2.1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new C/C++ project (New->Project->C Project->blah blah blah) to import
files into
2. File->import->file system
3. Select some files and import them

Actual Results:  Files are timestamped with the time of import.

Expected Results:  The timestamps of the original files should be preserved upon
import.

Comment 1 Rick Moseley 2004-11-29 21:10:40 UTC

Recent changes have been made to the PDE to support this feature.  These methods
have been added:

IResource.getResourceAttributes(); 
IResource.setResourceAttributes(ResourceAttributes); 

See comments posted to the eclipse.org link above by Tod Creasey and Douglas
Pollack on 10/29/2004.  From the comments, work is proceeding now that these
methods are in place.
