Question

I am trying to link my java code between two different systems through MyEclipse IDE . I know it is possible via CVS versioning system.

Any help on how to configure and use CVS would be highly appreciated

Solution

For using CVS, you need CVS server first. if you want to set it up on windows system download zip and install from 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cvsgui/files/WinCvs/

If your system is linux based install procedure is mentioned clearly in 

http://comsci.liu.edu/~murali/cvs/pserver.htm

The repository is where the different versions are stored. You need to then import your project into the repository. Then you need to use commands

  • cvs checkout (To make a local copy of a module's files from the repository)
  • cvs update (To update your copy of a module with any changes from the central repository)
  • cvs commit (When you think your files are ready to be merged back into the repository for the rest of your developers to see)

A very good reference of commands is found in below link

Hope this helps.
