Chapter 5 Working with a Revision Control System : Using CVS

Using CVS
CVS is a version control system that records the history of source files used to build a software product. CVS also allows engineers to work in their own directory, and merges the work of each engineer into a source tree.
This section shows how you can use the CVS revision control system (RCS) when using TIBCO Designer Add-in for TIBCO Business Studio.
At the RCS server repository, before starting, create a folder at the same level as your RCS Designer projects. Move the RCS Designer projects to this newly created folder. For example, if your projects are located in C:\RCS\CVS\MyProjects, move them to the directory C:\RCS\CVS\ServerCVS\MyProjects.
Though the following steps are specific to CVS, the process is similar for using any other RCS.
1.
Select File > Import > CVS > Projects from CVS.
2.
In the Checkout from CVS dialog box, provide details of your CVS server.
3.
In the Select Module dialog box, select the checkbox for Use an existing module.
All directories, workspaces, and projects located in the specified under the CVS root directory are now displayed.
4.
5.
In the Check Out As dialog box select the checkbox for Checkout as a project in the workspace and click Next.
Do not modify the value of the Project Name field.
6.
For example, if the local RCS repository directory is C:\RCS\LocalSVN, and the parent directory is ServerCVS, the location of the imported projects will be C:\RCS\LocalSVN\ServerCVS.
Click Next.
7.
The entire parent directory is now imported into your workspace as a General Eclipse Project.
8.
You can now add these projects to your workspace by creating a new Designer project. See Creating a Project for more information. Make sure to select the Create project using existing Designer Project option.
You can now select a project in the Project Explorer view and use the right-click Team menu for performing RCS-related activities.
