I have experienced an annoying bug with switching my projects between SVN branches in eclipse.

It tended to freeze eclipse at the end of the swtich - forcing me to crash eclipse and restart.ﾠ

When I restarted eclipse I would generally find that the swicth had actually happened.

Anyway I have upgraded the subclipse plugin to the latest version 1.4.8 (update site here) and have now done 4 big switches with no freezing, hoorah!

It also seems faster - so thanks subclipse guys.

I use the free version of Aptana - an eclipse plugin. I use it mainly for CSS and Javascript editing. One day I will delve more into its support for various Javascript libraries - including JQuery (which is the only one I bother with these days....).

Anyway I had a large site to ftp to a remote host from home and my uplink speeds where rather slow. I left it running. When I came back the laptop had decided to hibernate at some point during the process!

It looked like most of the site had transfered, but how to be sure?

I used the Aptana Sync Manager. You can setup the two sides to sync one being over ftp, and it will merrily run through all the files and inform you of any mismatches. There are plenty of options to configure exactly how this works. I just wanted to know if any files had been missed and sure enough there were a handful missing.

One of the many extra Aptana goodies.
