| <H1>Checking out a project from a CVS repository</H1> |
| |
| <P>To check out a project 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 folders that you want to add as projects |
| to the Workbench. If you are looking for a folder in a particular version: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Expand the <b> Versions</b> category and find the folder name |
| that you want to add to the Workbench.</li> |
| <li>Expand the folder to reveal its versions.</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>If you are looking for the latest folder in a branch:</p> |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>Expand the <b> Branches</b> category.</li> |
| <li>Expand the branch that holds the folder that you want to add to the |
| Workbench.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li>From the pop-up menu for the selected folders, select one of the following: |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li><b>Check Out as Project</b> to check out each of the selected folders |
| as a project in the local workspace with the same name as the folder in |
| the repository.</li> |
| <li><b>Check Out As...</b> to check out the selected folders into a custom |
| configured project in the local workspace. <em>Note:</em> When multiple |
| folders are selected, this operations only allows the specification of |
| a custom parent location for the new projects.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| <li>If <b>Check Out As...</b> was chosen on a single project, one of two possible |
| dialogs is displayed depending on whether the folder in the repository contains |
| a .project file or not. |
| <ol type="a"> |
| <li>If there is a .project file, the dialog will accept a custom project |
| name and location.</li> |
| <li>Otherwise, the dialog will be the New Project wizard which allows full |
| customization of the project (e.g. Java project).</li> |
| </ol> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p><em>Tip:</em> Any folder, including non-root folders, can be checked out from |
| a CVS repository. |
