Re: RobotBuilder overwriting Java Commands

It only occurs when the base class is changed, or the class implements an interface.

I use a ParameterCommand base class for many of our commands, which allows me to set parameters from the SmartDashboard, so this bug is a very big problem for me. All the classes that extend ParameterCommand were overwritten the first time I regenerated the code after updating the Eclipse plugins.

There is also the possibility that this is not a new bug, because I may have not previously regenerated the code after adding the ParameterCommand
code.

Does anyone where I can get the earlier plugins, because the old versions are immediately removed from the update site when an update is released?

EDIT: This bug was not introduced in the latest update, it has been around for a while.
Are you sure you are getting a proper save of the changes you made? We have found that if we do not force saves efore updating from RB, that we can lose changes we made in eclipse.
