The VCS context menu

This is a feature of JBuilder Enterprise

This menu is available for the CVS, Visual SourceSafe, and ClearCase integrations.

CVS context menu

The context menu provides file-level commands. Access the context menu from the project pane in the upper left of the IDE:

  3. Select the CVS menu item. The CVS submenu appears.
  4. Select the command you want to apply to the selected files.

The project pane supports multiple selection of files, so you can apply a command from the context menu to any number of files selected in the project pane.

Commands are available from the context menu only when they can be performed under present circumstances on all of the selected files.

There are nine commands available from the CVS context menu:

Update Files Synchronizes your workspace version of selected files with the repository version.
Commit Posts the changes you made in the file to the repository.
File Status Displays the files' status in CVS.
Add Adds the files to the CVS repository. Before being added, the files must be physically in the project directory. After being added, the files must be committed.
Remove Files Removes the files from the project directory and from CVS.
Add Watch Applies a watch to the files. Watch must be active before this command, or any of the next three commands, is useful.
Remove Watch Takes the watch off of the files.
CVS Edit Executes the CVS command edit to alert others that you're using the files.
