What
is cvs?
CVS (Concurrent
Versions System) is a version control system that enables developers to
keep history of revisions, comment and keep track of changes, develop in
team enviroment. CVS is completely free, is available for most OS platforms
and there's a variety of clients available. To learn more or to download
cvs, go to CVSHome.
(More links to cvs related material can be found in Docs
section of this module.)
Netbeans
support
Currently
Netbeans CVS support is done by executing the command line cvs executable
and the module is an object wrapper which integrates CVS into the IDE environment.
You can create a filesystem that makes all the features of cvs available
on a mouse click. Files accessed through it have all the properties of
files on the local file system (access dates, attributes, and so on) -
along with additional properties like file state. The file state appears
next to the file's name on its Explorer node. For each action performed
on your files, your version control system is called, and the information
it returns on the command line is processed by the module. This way you
have both full control and easy-to-use interface at once.
