SCM - Best way to get workspace connection for a file?
Hello,
Just wanted to find out if there was an easier way to get the
IWorkspaceConnection associated with a IResource?
Currently I go through IResource > IShareable > IShare >
ISharingDescriptor > IWorkspaceHandle. From the IWorkspaceHandle I cycle
all repository connections trying to find that handle is the
repository's connection manager. Needless to say it seems a lot of code
for something which will be frequently called.
Regards,
Sri.

But to get IWorkspaceManager, one would need to cycle through the
repository connections in the workspace?

Is it possible to get all the IWorkspaceHandles of the workspace? I mean is there a API to do that, not collecting them through searching the whole workspace (SharingDescriptor > IWorkspaceHandle)?

The best you can do is:
for (IShare share : ISharingManager.allShares()) {
workspaces.add(share.getSharingDescriptor().getConnectionHandle());
}

I found another solution that might be simpler: IWorkspaceConnection.getContextHandle()

I thought you were talking about getting the workspace handles for all
the shares in the eclipse workspace since this thread was about getting
connections for filesystem objects and you said: "Is it possible to get
all the IWorkspaceHandles of the workspace?"
An IWorkspaceConnection has exactly 1 handle and you obtain it in exactly
the way you said, with getContextHandle().
