Eclipse

Eclipse has a built-in perspective for CVS
◦ All of the developer downloads come with it
pre-installed
(The following directions are for the Eclipse Ganymede
Eclipse IDE for Java Developer release)
Eclipse – CVS Perspective

To open the CVS repository perspective select
Window  Open Perspective  Other…
Eclipse – CVS Perspective

Select CVS Repository Exploring
Eclipse – Adding a Repository

To add a repository, right click on the CVS Repositories
pane and select New  Repository Location…
Eclipse – Connection Settings
Type in the parameters to connect to the
remote repository
 For example…

◦ Host: linux.gl.umbc.edu
◦ Repository Path:
/afs/umbc.edu/users/r/b/rberge1/pub/cs341s10/Proj0/
◦ User:Your GL/myUMBC username
◦ Password: Your GL/myUMBC password
◦ Connection type: extssh

Save the password if you wish
Eclipse – Connection Settings
Eclipse – Viewing Repositories

You should now see the repository under the
CVS Repositories Pane
Eclipse – Checking Out

Expand the repository, expand HEAD, select your
module (username) then right click and choose Check
Out As…
Eclipse – Checking Out (continued)

Be sure to use the New Project Wizard, click
Finish…
Eclipse – Checking Out (continued)

Select to check out the module as a Java
Project
Eclipse – Checking Out (continued)

Name the project and click Finish…
Eclipse – Checked Out Code

Switch back to the Java Perspective and you will
see the module checked out as a project
◦ Note the little orange cylinders – that indicates that
it’s under version control
Eclipse – New Resources
•
Just like with the command line, items that are
not know to be under CVS control are marked
with a “?” symbol
– Such as the Eclipse generated src folder
Eclipse – Synchronizing

To commit to or update from the repository, right click
on the project and choose Team  Synchronize with
Repository
Eclipse – Committing Resources

Here we see an outgoing arrow indicating that this
needs to be pushed to the repository
◦ Commits and updates can be performed by right clicking
Eclipse – Synchronized
