Committing a File to CVS

Use this to update the CVS repository with the latest version of the files you have been working on, and to add any new files or remove any unwanted files that have been selected for this action.

You can perform this on just a single file, or in the context of a project in which case JDeveloper determines which files have changed since they were last committed and displays them as a list.

To commit the changed files in a project:

  1. With the project selected in the navigator, choose Source Control | Commit from the context menu. JDeveloper finds all the files that are candidates for committing to the CVS repository, and they are listed in the Commit from CVS dialog.
  2. You can commit all the files by clicking OK, or you can first remove some from the list. To remove a file from the list to be added to CVS, 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.
  3. Enter a comment in the right pane.
  4. When you click OK the listed files in the CVS repository are updated.

To commit a single file:

  1. Select the file in the navigator and choose Source Control | Commit. The Commit to CVS dialog is displayed with the file listed.
  2. Enter a comment in the right pane.
  3. When you click OK the file in the CVS repository is updated.
