In addition to supporting CVS, the IDE provides generic version control system support to enable you to work with any VCS that has a command-line interface.
The IDE interacts with version control systems by using profiles, which
contain information such as command execution strings and variable settings that are
specific for a given operating system and VCS. The IDE includes profiles for Visual Source Safe (VSS) and PVCS for several platforms, which you can use with or without customizing them.
You can download other profiles from
http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html/
. If no profiles for your
version control system are available, you can create your own profile within the IDE.

All profiles are stored in XML files
files in your user directory under <SYSTEM>/vcs/config directory. If you
do not know where your IDE user directory is on your system, choose Help ![]() |
