Updating a Project, Folder or File in CVS

The CVS update operation attempts to merge the modifications with the local files. It does not overwrite local files with those from the CVS repository.

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

To update a project from the CVS repository:

With the project selected in the navigator, choose Source Control | Update from the context menu. JDeveloper finds all the files that are candidates for updating from the CVS repository, and they are listed in the Update from CVS dialog.
You can update 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 greyed 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 local copies of the files in the list are merged with the versions from the CVS repository.

To update a folder from the CVS repository:

Select the folder in the navigator and choose File | Source Control | Update Folder.
Check that the folder listed in the selection box is the correct one. If not, click the Browse button and select the correct folder.
On the Update Settings and Common Options tabs, set the options as required. For information about these options, press F1.
Click OK.

To update a file from the CVS repository:

Select the file in the navigator and choose File | Source Control | Update. The Update From CVS dialog is displayed with the file listed.
When you click OK the local copy of the file is with that from the CVS repository.
