    Apparently, JSP files are added with -kb to CVS. I noticed this because my $Id$ strings weren’t being expanded, and confirmed it with cvs status.

    I’m having a hard time imagining any reason why -kb would be necessary for JSP files, so I assume this is a bug.

    I’m running 3.6.2 with Eclipse 3.0M3 on Debian Linux, using JDK 1.4.1 (actually a beta release of 1.4.1 from Blackdown). This is a fresh install of Eclipse, not an upgrade.

    … and I assume this depends on your settings:

    Preferences->Team->File content

    NOP

    Yes, adding jsp as an ASCII file type does solve the problem. Should this be changed to an enhancement request rather than a bug report? From an end user perspective, it’s still a bug.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have entered into our tracking system and it will be included in the next MyEclipse release.

    .. a bug of your CVS server configuration.

    IMHO it is a CVS server configuration issue, how the file types are stored, and NOT a user dependend issue.

    Just configure the file CVSROOT/cvswrappers correctly and it works for ALL users.

    One thing that may be confusing here is that setting the ASCII file type on your JSP’s after checking them into CVS will not change them. This setting only affects how new files with that extension are treated by CVS, not existing ones. To change your existing JSP’s from binary to ASCII you need to select them and then right-click and use Team > Change ASCII/binary Property….

    Good point Scott. We have already made the adjustment to the codebase for JSPs and related files to default to ASCII.
