Greg Klebus gives me some schooling on Eclipse:

As cool as it gets, Eclipse (partially) has this really nifty feature! It's called "label decorations" and is a generic way to add custom information to labels associated with project resources. It has to be enabled in the preferences:

Window->Preferences->Workbench->Label Decorations->CVS

What's more, you can also heavily configure the format of CVS label decorations in:

Window->Preferences->Team->CVS->Label Decorations

You can see what's the status of your CVS controlled resources in the project tree. I'm not quite sure if you can see clearly who's doing what with files. [ Greg Klebus, Java To Go]

Thanks Greg, that is exactly what I wanted. Clearly, I need to spend a little more time RTFM'ing before I shoot off my mouth. And Greg, I've been meaning to tell you that your English is just fine - I would not have noticed that you were not a native speaker if you had not mentioned it.

Hey Perforce, are you reading too? If so, get to work on Eclipse integration. I'd like Eclipse to be as easy to use at work (where we use Perforce) as at home (where I use CVS for Roller). UPDATE: Turns out, there is a Perforce plugin for Eclipse, it is called P4Eclipse.
