eclipse - Show annotations not working

Question

I use Eclipse with egit plugin. When I click Team -> Show Annotations, it shows up nothing. But I could view annotations by going to the history and then right clicking on the desired change set.

Shouldn't the first way show annotations from the latest version of that file I am working on?

Answer 1

I found eclipse bug 394161 that says the show annotations functionality won't work unless you set your EGit preferences to ignore whitespace changes. You can do that by going to Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git and checking the box that says "Ignore whitespace changes". That fixed the problem for me.
