Chapter 26. SCM Checkout HookYou can instruct DVT to perform some actions on any read-only file that gets modified by direct editing or by refactoring: Create a checkout hook binary named
"dvt_checkout_hook*" in the
.dvt directory. To customize the location of the binary file, use the
"Checkout Hook Binary" preference from
File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > DVT > SCM.
In the newly created binary, add any command you wish to be performed on the read-only files that get modified. Simply start to modify a read-only file and it will get triggered automatically. Also, you can disable the checkout confirmation by enabling the
"Automatically Checkout Files" preference from
File > Preferences > Settings > Extensions > DVT > SCM.
Also, you can use the
"Checkout Hook Working Directory" preference to customize the working directory of the checkout hook. If this is not specified, it defaults to the project location.
