<H1>Checking out a module from a CVS repository</H1>
<P>Modules can be defined in the CVSROOT/modules file of a CVS repository. To check out such a module from a
CVS repository to the Workbench:
</P>
<ol>
<li>Switch to the CVS Repository Exploring perspective or add the CVS Repositories
view to the current perspective.</li>
<li>In the CVS Repositories view, expand the repository location.</li>
<li>Expand <b>HEAD</b> and select the modules that you want to add to the Workbench.
<em>Note</em>: Modules appear as root folders of the repository but are associated
with the <img src="../images/tasks-96b-module_rep.png" alt="CVS module icon" border="0" >
icon.</li>
<li>From the pop-up menu select <b>Check Out</b>. This will checkout the module
into one or more projects in the local workspace, depending on how the module
is defined in the repository.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Defined modules can also be checkout out using the Checkout
Wizard.</p>
