Those are all pulled out of your version control system. There is no
way to change these from JBuilder (well, maybe if you use StarTeam).
What VCS are you using?

Thanks, Lori. |
cvs, but not hooked up
will do that, but was hoping to be able to label versions that I don't want to commit to cvs yet
(eg:: when I'm about to make a scary change, may not realize it was not a good idea for several Saves, & don't want to have to hunt through large-N diffs to find where I was)
I would think that others would value such a capability too.

This sounds like "Local Labels." On the Project menu, look at "Manage
Local Labels." What you're doing with these is attaching a label to
JBuilder's local backup files (typically in <project>/bak). Everything
else integrates with the regular VCS features, but you don't actually
check in any files.
I use these whenever I remember, and much less often than I should.
It's really a great feature.

Posted: Mon Jun 26, 2006 8:22 pm Post subject: CVS, Connecting JBuilder Up To w/o Committing the Project Fi |
|
|
I just tried connecting my JBuilder up to our cvs repository.
My lack of success in finding a way to just tell JB about the way I was already using cvs matched what I was able to find in help, namely that it expects (requires, evidently) me to put my Project File into cvs.
My cvs administrators don't want random IDE files in the repository.
Is there some way to achieve what I want w/o having to do precisely what JBuilder seems to be demanding?
(I've been using wincvs; what I thought was that JBuilder would let me have an interface that's roughly like that - maybe even better.)
Thanks,
-- M.

I've never placed a Jbuilder project file in CVS. Personally, I don't
think you have to.
OTOH, I think that the library files almost HAVE to go into the
repository, but that's MHO.
Basically, you go to Team | Select Project VCS and choose CVS. If
you've done this already, and the configuration isn't correct, the
easiest way to back out is to exit JBuilder, and edit the
<project>.jpx.local file in a text editor, and remove all the "team" lines.
At this point, I usually confirm that I can use the cvs.exe that
JBuilder uses (<jbuilder>/bin) from the command-line, inside my source
tree. If I can't, then it is totally futile to try and use it from
inside JBuilder until you can get the command-line version working.
Sometimes the problem is that WinCVS caches the CVS password in a
different place than where the cvs.exe expects it. Simple enough to try
"cvs login" from the command line.
So, once you are certain that works, go into Team | Configure CVS to
finish setting things up. As you enter things in the dialog, the
CVSROOT is echoed at the bottom. All you have to do is make the CVSROOT
look like the CVSROOT of your sandbox, and then you are good to go.
