Eclipse Equivalent of IntelliJ's Annotate (or Git Blame)
Its been a minute since I've developed in eclipse. Is there an equivalent of IntelliJ's annotate feature?
In essence, you right click on the margin and select annotate. After which in the margin you see who the last people where who made modifications to the code per line (like git's blame).
Other notes:
- Version Control System I'm using is git.
- Eclipse version is Neon.3 Release (4.6.3).
- I have eGit installed.
- I see this is possible with CVS, here: http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Ftasks-cvs-annotate.htm
- Read Eclipse with EGit, git-blame info is hard to see it looks like this was possible with indigo, but I don't see similar options described.
Answer
In eclipse photon I've found I'm able to right click the gutter near the line numbers and click "show revision information".
the gutter is then highlighted different colors each line for what commit they belong to. Clicking the now colored line's number gutter I can peek at commit information. Here's the example header when doing so.
Edit: Sometime eclipse hides it this menu option under Team. Then you're stuck going through additional menus when you right click go to > Team > Show Revision Information
Sometimes to turn it off you may need to go to Revisions -> Hide Revision Information as the Show Revision Information button will not toggle the side gutter on/off, (only on).
