This is regarding getting source code from Eclipse RTC. After creating a new workspace and code loading into the sandbox , I am getting unresolved items as well as project out of sync also, even though the code was newly loaded to sand box.

The main difference between sandbox file and workspace file is in property of the files.

 If you load a repository workspace to disc, you should not get pending changes to check in. 

You would only get that, if the client changes the file while loading. David has already provided some causes for this behavior.

It should be easy enough to look at the changes and provide a qualified information what the changes are that you see. 

The Eclipse client has configuration mechanisms that you can use. Under File>Preferences>General>Workspace, you can control the default encoding as well as the text file line delimiter (Windows or other that often cause issues. 

If you have stuff like auto formatter or something like that you could see these issues as well. So make sure you understand what the server SCM contains and set your workspace to a reasonable default before loading. 

If you need more information provide some actionable information about what the changes are you see (file type, individual changes).

Also to provide OS and Versions of server and client would be a good idea and actually are mandatory.

And when I am at it, reasonable tagging is mandatory as well. Questions more likely than not are not related to jazz.net and we require a product tag, which is a choice as easy as it could be.

Another thing that can happen is where the Eclipse .project file is source controlled, but you're using a different version of Eclipse from the person that delivered the most recent .project file. In those cases, Eclipse can detect that and then "upgrade" the .project file. If that was the case, you typically just see a pending change for that file.

You mentioned Eclipse shows differences in the properties. What are those differences? Which properties?

Check the file encoding you're using as your Eclipse preferences. Eclipse tends to use a defailt of CP1252, but often what you really want is UTF-8. To avoid this happening accidentally, I edited eclipse.ini so that under -vmargs I include -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 .
