Adding a File to CVS

Before you can add a file to CVS, you must have already put your project under CVS source control. This is described in Configuring JDeveloper to Use CVS.

When you create a new file, for example a new class, it has to be added to source control before you can use the other CVS operations on it. The file is added to source control locally, and the CVS repository is not updated. The file is identified in the Navigator pane by the icon .

To add new files in a project to CVS:

With the project selected in the navigator, choose Source Control | Add from the context menu. JDeveloper finds all the files that are candidates for adding to CVS, and they are listed in the Add to CVS dialog.
You can add all the listed files to CVS by clicking OK, or you can first remove some of them from the list. To remove a file from the list, select it and click Remove. The file is grayed out. If you have removed a file from the list in error, you can add it again by selecting it and clicking Add.
When you click OK the files in the list are copied to the relevant module in the CVS repository.

To add one file to CVS:

Select the file in the navigator and choose Source Control | Add. The Add to CVS dialog is displayed with the file listed.
When you click OK the file is copied to the relevant module in the CVS repository.

This file will be added to the CVS repository when the next commit is performed.
