CVS Create Module dialog box

The CVS Project Create Module command creates a new CVS module in the target repository from within the JBuilder interface.

A CVS module is a container of files. It also contains the changes made in all the files, and keeps track of the information relating to when, where, and how those changes were made.

A CVS module is created once. It's checked out independently by each user, who works on the files in the user's own workspace.

Once it's checked out, all of the users must keep their workspace versions of the files synchronized with the versions in the module. They do this by updating their workspaces with changes others have made and committing their own changes to the module in the repository.

To create a project module,

  1. Open an existing project, or create a new .jpx project.

  2. Select Team|Configure Version Control and set your connection to the repository, if it's not already set. Include the name of the module you want to create.

    To learn more about how to set the connection configuration, see the Configuring CVS in JBuilder topic in "Installing and configuring CVS" or press F1 from within the Team|Configure Version Control dialog or the Team page of the Project|Project Properties dialog box.

  3. Select Team|CVS Project Create Module. The CVS Create Module dialog box will show.

  4. Enter a description of the module. Click OK.

  5. The dialog box will tell you when the module is created. Click OK or press Enter to return to the AppBrowser.

If you get an error saying that your repository settings are incomplete, click OK or press Enter in the message. The needed dialog will display and JBuilder will have filled in what is missing. Check the settings to make sure they are what you need. When you're satisfied with the settings, click OK or press Enter.
