 | The Java Developer's Guide to Eclipse |
There are no prerequisite files or projects for this exercise. You will
need access to a CVS server with authority to commit files. The solution
is created by you when you complete the exercise.
In this exercise you will examine a series of progressively more sophisticated
scenarios to learn how you can use Eclipse and CVS in everyday situations.
This exercise is highly recommended if you are going to be using CVS regularly.
Here is what you’ll learn.
- Getting Started - You will define access to a CVS repository and explore its contents using
the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. You’ll place a new project under CVS control,
check its contents into the CVS repository, and version it.
- Updating, Committing, and Resolving Conflicts -
You will update your project and commit the changes to CVS. Then, to make
it more interesting, a colleague will make changes to the project while
you are also making changes. You’ll use Eclipse CVS support to help resolve
the resulting conflict.
- Branching and Merging -
In this scenario, you will avoid any conflicts with the main development
trunk by making changes in a branch and then merging them back.
