Setting a Relative Mount Point for a CVS Filesystem

When you mount a CVS filesystem, the Java package root may differ from the CVS root. To ensure proper functioning of the CVS commands, mount the directory at the CVS root. If you mount the CVS filesystem at a level higher than the Java package root, you can set a relative mount point so that the Java classes are handled properly.

If your source hierarchy includes directories that are parallel with the Java package root and you want to access those in the IDE as well, you can specify multiple relative mount points. In the CVS Mount wizard, you can hold down the Ctrl key to select multiple mount points.

You are given the opportunity to specify a relative mount point in the CVS Mount wizard when mounting a previously checked out working directory.

To set or change the relative mount point in a CVS built-in client filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the CVS filesystem's root node and choose Customize from the contextual menu.
  2. Select the Mount Existing Sources radio button and click Next.
  3. In the Setting Relative Mountpoint panel, select the directory you want to be the relative mount point and click Next.
  4. In the Server Settings panel, click Finish.

To set or change the relative mount point in a CVS command-line support filesystem:

  1. In the Explorer, right-click the CVS filesystem's root node and choose Customize from the contextual menu.
  2. In the Customizer dialog box, click the Browse button next to the Relative Mount Point field.
  3. In the Relative Mount Point Browser, select the directory you want to be the relative mount point and click OK.
  4. Click OK to exit the Customizer dialog box.
