<H1>Project checked out with another CVS tool</H1>
<P CLASS="Para">It is possible to use a CVS project checked out using another
CVS tool into Eclipse. A common concern for those migrating to Eclipse is that
they already have their CVS project checked out on their local machine. You
<em>don't</em> have to check out the contents again to create a project in Eclipse.
Although the project already contains the CVS sharing information in the CVS
folders, it still needs to be shared within Eclipse in order to enable the CVS
Team menu operations.</P>
<P>To share an CVS project that was already checked out:: </P>
<ol>
<li>In the Navigator view, select the project to be shared.</li>
<li>Select <b>Team &gt;</b> <b>Share Project...</b> from the project's
pop-up menu. The Share Project wizard opens.</li>
<li>From the list of available repository providers, choose <b>CVS</b> and click
<b>Next </b>to go to the next page. <b>Note</b>: If there is only one repository
provider available, the first page will be skipped and next page will be displayed
automatically.</li>
<li>The next page displays the sharing information stored in the CVS folder
of the project. Click <strong>Finish</strong> to share the project and enable
the CVS Team menu operations.</li>
</ol>
