Checking Out CVS Project Files

This is one of the configuration tasks you perform to place files and folders under CVS source control. You perform this task once, after importing your project into the CVS repository.

When you check out a CVS project, the files are copied from the CVS repository to a new location on your local machine. Then you add the files to your project so that they are visible in the Navigator pane where you can work on them.

You check out your project files from the CVS repository using the Checkout wizard.

To use the Checkout wizard:

If you need to, log into to CVS by choosing File | Source Control | Log In.
Choose File | Source Control | Check Out Module. The Checkout wizard is displayed.
Complete the checkout as prompted by the wizard. To obtain more information when working with the wizard, press F1.

The files are copied to the location you have specified.
