Sharing a new project using CVS

There are several scenarios that can occur when sharing a project using CVS. The most common scenario is sharing a new project using CVS when the project does not already exist remotely.

To share a new project using CVS:

  1. In the Navigator view, select the project to be shared.
  2. Select Team > Share Project... from the project's pop-up menu. The Share Project wizard opens.
  3. From the list of available repository providers, choose CVS and click Next to go to the next page. Note: If there is only one repository provider available, the first page will be skipped and next page will be displayed automatically.
  4. Select the target repository from the list of known repositories or, if the target repository is not in this list, choose to create a new repository location and click Next.
  5. If entering a new repository location, enter the repository information and click Next when completed. Note: this page is the same format as the Creating a CVS repository location wizard.
  6. (Optional) Either choose to use the name of the local project as the remote project name or enter another name.
  7. Click Finish to share the project with the repository. The project folder will be created remotely and the Synchronize view will open and allow the committing of the project's resouces. Note: If the project already exists remotely, the Synchronize view will show conflicts on any files that exist both locally and remotely.
