Specifying a repository location</h3>
<p CLASS="Head">Before it is possible to share the project with other users an
available repository must first be specified.</p>
<ol>
<li>Open the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. The top left view shows all
of the CVS repositories that are currently being worked with. As can be seen,
the view is empty, meaning a repository still needs to be specified. </li>
<li>In the context menu of the CVS Repositories view choose <b>New &gt;&nbsp;Repository
Location</b>.

</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</li>
<li>In the CVS Repository Location wizard, the location of the repository and
the login information needs to be filled in. Assistance from a repository
administrator may be required in order to fill in the necessary information.

</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> In the <b> Host </b> field, type the address of the host
(for example, &quot;teamsamples.com&quot;).</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> In the <b> Repository path </b> field, type the path for
the repository at the host address (for example, &quot;/home/cvsroot/repositoryName&quot;).</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para">In the <b> User </b> field, type the user name under which
to connect.</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para">In the <b>Password</b> field, type the password.</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> In the <b> Connection type </b> field, select the type of
CVS connection for the repository (The default is pserver). </P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> Leave<b> Use Default Port</b> enabled.&nbsp;</P>
</li>
<li>By default the <b>Validate Connection on Finish<b> option </b></b>is checked.&nbsp;
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para"> Click <b>Finish</b> when done.</P>
<P CLASS="Para"> Since <b>Validate location on finish </b>was checked,<b>
</b>the wizard will now attempt to validate the information by connecting
to the repository. In doing so it may prompt for a password. <strong>Note:
</strong>The repository connection is only used to validate the information.</P>
</li>
<li>
<P CLASS="Para">Observe that the CVS Repositories view now shows the new repository
location.</P>
