How to set the date format for the Team - History view in Eclipse?


Does anyone know how to set the date format for the Team - History view in Eclipse? We are using the Subversive SVN plug-in but it doesn't seem to be specific to that plug-in. A Similar Stack Overflow Question was asked before but the answer was not really desirable.

The History view currently displays the date of a version as: 8/9/10 (which is basically useless) unless you have many versions and can decipher it bases on previous and subsequent versions.

This is independent of the Windows XP regional date settings as we have tried changing the "short date format" and it seems to have no effect.


Solution

  • In Indigo you can go to Settings> Team> SVN> Date Formats and specify a custom date format.

    For example yyyy.MM.dd HH:mm gives 2011.10.29 19:32

    In Juno the Date Format field is in Settings> Team> SVN> Label Decorations.

    In Kepler the Date Format field is in Settings> Team> SVN> Label Decorations/Text.

    In Mars the Date Format field is in Preferences> Team> SVN> View Settings.
