Changing the commit message
In Eclipse you can change the commit message if you made a mistake when comitting code;

  1. On a specific file, folder or project in Eclipse, right-click on it
  2. Choose Team / Show History
  3. A new small window is showed with the tab title 'History' showing all the revisions of the specific file(s)
  4. Right click on the revision line you want to change the message of
  5. Choose 'Set Commit Properties'
  6. Change the message in the new popup window and click on OK

Note: Trac / TWCore.org won't show your new commit message as it catches these messages in its database. When a repository refresh is done, these messages are updated.
