Hi, I also started to work on similar extension but it was left unfinished.
The idea was to have a persistent ui element (I used a button in the lower right trim) that would allow easily updating any out-of-date projects in one click. This way you can always get developer's attention that there are such projects (project error markers are ambiguous in this regard) while allowing full control on when to perform actual updates. 2014-11-09 18:38 GMT+02:00 Jason van Zyl <[email protected]>: > Fred, > > I haven't looked yet, but the code defend against the user making repeated > edits to the POMs?
