I want to add my project to CVS.
I followed the directions to add my repository (cvshost/cvs).
I used the wizard to add my project but nowhere does it seem to provide me a way to specify where in CVS I want to put the project. The CVS administrator defined a cvs “module”, foo/bar, where it is to go.In tortoise I can create a directory and it asks for the module location in addition to the repository info.
I tried in MyEclipse to add a repository location directly to cvshost/cvs/foo/bar, but it doesn’t like that.
In MyEclipse how do I specify the cvs module where my project is to be placed?
When you have your project open, you right-click on the root and go down to “Team” then “Share Project”. From there you will be asked which repository to share the project on AND the path to share the project. The path under the cvsroot is the module name. So if your root is /usr/local/cvsroot and you import the project to that repository under the path /myapp, then your module is ‘myapp’.
The correct answer to this question is that after clicking on share project you will see a screen which, appropriately, is titled “Enter Module Name”. The default is “use project name as module name” This is fine if you want the project in the root of cvs, but for my example in the first post this is not the case and you need to select the option “use specified module name”. Here, for my case, you type the module name.
The next complication, however, is that if your project is called myProj, the checkin unfortumately does NOT insert a myProj directory(stupid!!!) and you get all the subdirectories without any project directory!!!
So, I had to use tortoise to insert a myProj directory and then on the screen where it asks for the module name to give it foo/bar/myProj.Eclipse would do well to look at the tortoise interface which is much less confusing as to how to do this and would not require a product outside of Eclipse to create root project directories. Maybe there is a correct Eclipse way to do all this, but it isn’t at all clear.
If you follow the above directions you just get an error, as I said in my original post, when you try to specify the module in the path. This would be even more so when you need to specify the non-existent project directory name.
