6. Your project is now configured for using SourceAnywhere Plug-in.

Now if you right click context menu on the project and select Team, you will see some additional SourceAnywhere plug-in functions.

SourceAnywhere plug-in actions are also available from the main menu and toolbar if SourceAnywhere Plug-in menu and shortcuts is enabled. The actions will be invoked on the current active editor or the current selection if there is no active editor.

The context menu option will vary depending on the status of the file. If an option isn't available, but it should be, always try to do a refresh and see what happens.

All errors within the plug-in can be viewed by clicking Window menu > Show View > Error Log or in the Eclipse log-file located at (your workspace)\.metadata\.log.
