Remote instance has been updated

I recently setup a new PC with Eclipse Kepler to do Salesforce development.

On my old computer whenever I would do a save I would get the message 'Remote instance has been updated' if the file already saved to the Salesforce Org was different.   Now on my new computer I am able to overwrite anything on the Salesforce Org even if my file is old and the one on the Salesforce Org has been changed.

Is there a setting in Eclipse where I can make sure we do NOT have 'last save wins' setup?

I want my save to stop if somebody else has changed the file.


Thanks!

I don't think there is any option, but am suprised that you are not getting any error while saving. Would recommend you to install eclipse again and try it.

The problem happened to me when I installed forceIDE v31, and after some time looking for the reason why my code got overwritten, I found that the reason is the 'Tooling APi'
go to Project Properties>Force.com>Deployment Options
uncheck  that flag and the good old "Remote instance has been updated" will be back
