Placing Projects Under Version Control (CVS)

See Also

The IDE enables you to place any project you are working on under version control. You effectively import your sources into the remote repository. To do so, you need to be able to access a CVS repository which you have write privileges for.

To place an IDE project under version control:

  1. In the Projects window, select an unversioned project and choose either: The CVS Import wizard opens.
  2. In the CVS Root page of the Import wizard, specify the CVS root type and location of the repository as defined by the CVS URL.
  3. In the Folder to Import panel, enter a description of the project you are importing into the repository into the Import Message text area.
  4. In the Repository Folder text field, specify the repository folder in which you want to place the project in the repository. A folder containing the name of your project is suggested for you in the Repository Folder text field by default.
  5. Select the Checkout After Import option if you want to checkout and work with the project immediately after importing it. Then click Finish to initiate the import. The IDE uploads the project files to the repository and the Ouput window opens to display progress.

The IDE supports the following CVS root types:

The following root types require an external CVS executable:
