TKB00076 Filename Decorations in Eclipse
Overview
The Teamprise Plug-in for Eclipse uses icons and short textual descriptions to indicate the status of files which are managed by Teamprise. These "decorations" are visible many places in Eclipse's workspace tree, most notably the Package Explorer and Project Explorer views. These decorations are intended to be able to tell the status of a file at a glance.

Checked Out Files
Files which have been checked out of the Team Foundation Server are decorated with a checkmark icon, and a greater than sign (">") is prepended to its name:

Files which are locked in the Team Foundation Server (but not checked out) are decorated with a padlock icon:
Writable Conflicts
