<h1 class="Head">CVS Checkout wizard</h1>
<p class="Para">This wizard helps you check out one or more projects from a CVS repository. It is available from the
Import menu, the New &gt; Project menu and the toolbar of the CVS Repository Exploring perspective. It is also opened
when performing a Checkout As from the CVS Repositories view.</p>
<p class="Para">The first page of the checkout wizard allows you to choose an existing repository location or create
a new one. If you choose to create a new location, the page from the <a href="ref-40.htm">New Repository Location
wizard</a> is shown.</p>
<p class="Para"><img align="top" border="0" src="../images/cvs-checkout1.png" alt="CVS Checkout wizard"></p>
<p class="Para">After a repository location is selected, you can now choose one or more modules to check out. You can
either enter a module path or select one or more from the list of existing modules. A dot (.) can be entered to
checkout the entire contents of the repository for those rare cases where the repository represents a single
project.</p>
<p class="Para"><img align="top" border="0" src="../images/cvs-checkout2.png" alt="CVS Checkout wizard"></p>
<p class="Para">Once one or more modules are selected, you can choose to check out one or more selected modules as a
new projects or into an existing project or folder. If one module is selected and it does not contain a .project file
(the Workbench project configuration file), you will also have the option to configure the project using the new
project wizard (in order to make the project a Java project, for instance). The option to check out subfolders is
selected by default. Also, you are given the option to add the checked out modules to a working set.</p>
<p class="Para"><img align="top" border="0" src="../images/cvs-checkout3.png" alt="CVS Checkout wizard"></p>
<p class="Para">For a single project, you can configure the location of the project to be either the default location
or a custom location outside the workspace. For multiple projects, you can configure the parent folder where all the
projects should be located.</p>
<p class="Para"><img align="top" border="0" src="../images/cvs-checkout4.png" alt="CVS Checkout wizard"></p>
<p class="Para">Finally, you can choose the tag to be used for the check out.</p>
