Sharing an imported CVS project

It is possible to import a CVS project checked out using another CVS tool into Eclipse. Although the project already contains the CVS sharing information in the CVS folders, it still needs to be shared within Eclipse in order to enable the CVS Team menu operations.

To share an imported CVS project:

  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. The next page displays the sharing information stored in the CVS folder of the project. Click Finish to share the project and enable the CVS Team menu operations.
