Plugin Setup

Creating an account

After installing the plugin for the first time, you'll be greeted with a login prompt for CodeCollaborate after starting Eclipse.
If this is your first time using CodeCollaborate, you can click the 'Register' button to create a new account. Be sure you double check all of your information, as it's how we'll verify your account if you need to recover it.
If you already have an account you can go ahead and log into the service.

The CodeCollaborate plugin uses Eclipse's builtin secure storage to ensure that your password is encrypted before it is stored to make sure your password cannot be stolen. The first time you log in, Eclipse may have you initialize this secure storage by asking for a master password. Please note that this is different from your CodeCollaborate password, and will be global for your Eclipse workspace.
The plugin also uses TLS to ensure that your connection is private.

Changing Settings

The CodeCollaborate settings dialog can be reached by going to the Eclipse toolbar and selecting Window > Preferences. This will open up the Eclipse settings dialog, and from here you can get to the CodeCollaborate settings by selecting its entry in the left menu.

From the CodeCollaborate settings you can get to the log in dialog again, force a reconnect to the server, or recover your forgotten password.

Showing the CodeCollaborate Projects View

To show your Projects view, go to the Eclipse toolbar and go to Window > Show View > Other. Inside the window that pops up, go to the Other folder and select CodeCollaborate. This will bring up the Projects View in your current workspace.

Auto-subscribing

Once you're logged in, the plugin will ask you if you want to auto-subscribe to the same projects as your last session. BE CAREFUL, the CodeCollaborate plugin does not officially support offline editing of files, so AUTO-SUBSCRIBING WILL OVERWRITE ALL LOCAL DATA for a project which is auto-subscribed.
