Sharing projects

 

To give access to your project to your team members,  you have to share it in CVS.

 

To be able to share your projects, you need the write access to the necessary repository.

 

 

 

To share your projects in CVS, please follow these steps.

 

Step 1

Right-click the project (or several projects) you want to share (= add to the CVS repository) in the Project Explorer view.

 

Step 2

In the context menu, select Team  Share Project:

 

 

Step 3

In the opened window, select the necessary option - CVS:

 

 

Step 4

 

Select the location of the necessary repository:

 

 

Two options are available here:

Create a new repository location - allows creating a new repository location or opening the already existing repository location that you haven't opened yet,

Use existing repository location - allows going to the repository location that you have already opened once (in this case, you do not need to go through Steps 5-7 described below).

 

Step 5

Enter the necessary information about the repository location and press Next:

 

 

Here you can find the necessary information about defining the repository location.

 

Step 6

Select the name of the module in the CVS repository:

 

 

You have to choose between three options:

  • Use project name as a module name - allows setting the project name to the module;

  • Use specified module name - allows setting a special name to the module

  • Use the existing module - allows selecting an existing module and browse the modules in the repository. Here you can also select option Use project name as module name and place under the selected module.

 

After you have specified the module name, press Next.

 

 

 

 

 

If you have the write access to the repository, you can proceed to Step 7.

If you do not have the write access to the repository, you will not be able to add you projects to this repository and will get the corresponding message:

 

 

 

Step 7

If you have the write access to the repository, the final page of the Sharing Project dialog allows you to decide which resources to commit and which to ignore.

 

For this, select the resources you want to commit and press Finish.

 

 

We do not recommend committing the output files because they are deleted and created anew every time your build the program/project.

You can remove the output files by selecting Remove from the View in the context menu:

 

Step 8

 

 

Now your project is added to the CVS repository and shared with other users (you can see it by the tag it gets in the project explorer):
