| <h1 class="topictitle1">Setting CVS repository defaults</h1> |
| <div><div class="section"> <p>When you use a CVS repository during team development, you might |
| want to use the following setup to ensure that the CVS versioning support |
| ignores the project's build output folder:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Create a file called .cvsignore in your project's <span class="filepath">WebContent/WEB-INF</span> folder.</span></li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In this file, add a line with the name of the build output folder |
| (for example, <samp class="codeph">classes</samp>).</span> <p>Currently, you have |
| the option of creating this file automatically (as a feature) when using the |
| New Dynamic Web Project wizard.</p> |
| <p>When you synchronize with a CVS team |
| stream, the output folder will be ignored.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="stepexpand"><span>In addition, you should turn off the <span><b>Prune empty |
| directories</b></span> option. Select <span><span class="menucascade"><b>Windows</b> > <b>Preferences</b></span></span>, switch to the <span><span class="menucascade"><b>Team</b> > <b>CVS</b></span></span> properties |
| page, and ensure that the <span><b>Prune empty directories</b></span> check |
| box is not checked.</span> <p>If this option is enabled and your Web project's |
| source directory is empty, it will be deleted when the project is added to |
| your workspace from a CVS repository, causing a Java™ build error.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| </div> |
