Synchronizing our project

We have created our project and specified our repository location. Now we need to make our project available to other team members.

1.

In the Navigator view select the project JanesTeamProject.

2.

From the project's context menu choose Team > Synchronize with Stream

3.

Since this is the first time synchronizing the project we will need to specify the repository location for our project.

In the Set Project Sharing dialog:

  • In the Repositories list, select the desired repository location.
  • In the Streams list, select HEAD. 

It is possible to create additional CVS streams but for the purpose of this tutorial we will use the HEAD stream.

4.

Click OK when you are done.

5. Observe that the Team perspective automatically opens. The title of the workbench window and the shortcut bar both reflect the fact that the Team perspective is active, and consequently the Resource perspective is no longer active.

In the middle of the Team perspective is a large view called the Synchronize view. In the next section we will see how to use this view to release our work to the repository.
