Testing using build 010306 If I mount a filesystem containing read only files (under CVS) and checkout a file using an external CVS tool, I am not able to change the property of that file. Specifically I can't change the compiler property to internal execution. Workaround is to close and restart FFJ.
QA--I think this is duplicate. The problem is that there is no API currently for files to signal a change in read-only status.
The main problem is CompilerSupport.createCompilerProperty that at the creation time checks for the readonly attribute and creates either ReadWrite or ReadOnly property. Instead a canRead, canWrite methods should be overriden to reflect the actual state of the file object. Also please update ExecSupport
Fixed. Fix will be in dev build #151 and release32 build #10 CompilerSupport.createCompilerProperty, ExecSupport.createParamsProperty, ExecSupport.createExecutorProperty and ExecSupport.createDebuggerProperty methods was modified to recognize readonly state online.
