If you want to mount a CVS filesystem, but you do not have the sources checked out into a working directory on your system, you can create a CVS working directory with the CVS Mount Wizard.
To create a CVS working directory:
If you are using the CVS Built-in Client, the Advanced Options for the Checkout Command dialog box appears. Click Select Module and select one or more of the available modules that are listed in the Choose a Module dialog box.
If you are using the IDE's CVS Command-Line Client Support, click Select in the CVS Checkout dialog box and select the CVS modules to check out from the list that appears.

When checking out a working directory using the CVS Mount wizard, it is not possible to set a relative mount point (which can cause problems for Java sources, where the Java package root must correspond with the mount point. You can go set a relative mount point after the sources are checked out by right-clicking the filesystem's root node and choosing Customize from the contextual menu. |
