JBoss Rich Faces Editor causes Java refactoring failures for read/only SCM systems (Perforce)

      Setup a couple projects in Eclipse where all the files are read only under Eclipse SCM control. Rename a method (alt-shift-r). You will get a lot of "Cannot change read-only file..." messages even on files that should be unaffected.

      Remove the Rich Faces plugin and try again.

      We have a large project that uses Perforce as SCM. Perforce leaves files read/only until they have been modified at which point they are checked out and made writable.

      Eclipse refactoring modifies files and automatically engages the SCM Eclipse plugins on changes to optionally check the files out. In the case of Perforce, this makes the files writable on modification which allows changes to be saved. This works fine under Eclipse 3.5 with Jboss Tools.

      This is broken under Eclipse 3.6, Jboss tools 3.2 when the RichFaces editor is installed and a developer attempts to rename a method using "refactor Method name". You get a set of error messages where it looks like the refactoring is trying to change read-only files. Many of the files listed are not changed by the refactoring. It's almost like the Rich Faces editor/refactor hooks is stat'ing or touching the files maybe without changing. Removing the RichFaces editor stops the problem for occurring.

      No work around exists.
