JBuilder requires you to use a project to work from, so you check out a project module from an empty project.
To check a project out from a CVS module,
If your connection configuration is incomplete, the CVS Repository Settings Incomplete dialog box displays instead of the CVS Checkout dialog box.
If you see the CVS Repository Settings Incomplete dialog box, notice what it asks for and click OK. This displays the Team page of the Project Properties dialog box, where you configure your CVS connection. JBuilder automatically fills in what's missing, so note the values JBuilder has chosen.
When you are satisfied with your settings, click OK. The CVS Checkout dialog box displays. Click OK or press Enter to approve, or click Cancel to quit the process and return to the AppBrowser.
JBuilder uses .jpx
project files to organize project modules. This means JBuilder may rename the project file you use to check out the module to, if it's necessary. Here's how it works:
.jpx
project file, JBuilder keeps the name of that .jpx
project file for the project you checked out and discards the name of the empty project file. JBuilder uses the information in the new .jpx
file to organize the files as you see them in the project pane.
.jpx
project file, JBuilder keeps the name of the empty project you checked the module into. JBuilder uses its automatic packaging capability to organize the files in the project as you see them in the project pane.
