updating source code subversion comment tags in RTC

To my knowledge, RTC doesn't currently support CVS or SVN style keyword
expansion in files. If you require this capability, your best course of
action is to open a work item to request this feature.

Hello,
When I was using Subversive, I could update Javadoc subversion comment
tags such as
* @LastChangedDate
* @LastChangedBy

etc each time the source file was committed to the repository.

How do I get the same functionality in Jazz RTC?

Thanks Michael,

Question: Do you forsee or are you aware of any problems using RTC and Subversive simultaneously on the same project to realize advantages of both. After all, following changes in file with SVN keywords is important.

Although this does not directly fix the problem - hopefully, this will help you a little. Have you turned on the Annotate function in the Java editor (open source code file, right button in the editor, go to Team->Annotate). This will give you a visual indication of exactly what code lines changed and who did them (and other details). It is also colour-coded so you can see the "age" of the change. I found this extremely useful.

Not the same as updating the Javadoc but potentially even more useful.

re: using Subversive and RTC SCM at the same time - I think this is going to be quite hard. You are going to be swtching SCM provider all the time (assuming you are the person using both Subversive and RTC). One alternative is to keep using Subversion as the underlying SCM system with RTC. You will lose some capabilities that RTC brings but you will keep your tags updated.

As Michael points out - pls log the original request as an enhancement request here on jazz.net.
