Setting up CVS in Eclipse

1. After you receive your team name (i.e. 'cs303-xx' ), you will need to create a CVSROOT directory in the path /xtra/2007/cs303/cs303-xx on cvs.cs.mcgill.ca :
1. Use PuTTY or some other ssh program to login in to cvs.cs.mcgill.ca
2. Type cd /xtra/2007/cs303/cs303-xx
3. Type mkdir CVSROOT
4. Remember to change the access permission so that your teammate can acess it as well: chmod 770 CVSROOT

YOU'RE FINISHED WITH THE UNIX SETUP;


2. In Eclipse, open the CVS Repositories perspective (Window>Open Perspective>Other>CVS ...), and create a new repository location (right-click in window and select New repository location). You need to specify the following:
   1. host : cvs.cs.mcgill.ca
   2. repository path:/xtra/2007/cs303/cs303-xx
   3. user: your SOCS personal login
   4. password: your SOCS personal password
   5. connection type: extssh
   6. use default port : yes (Alternatively, use port 22)
   7. test: yes
   You have now established access to you team repository.
   
   8. To use it, go to one of your Java Project and with the context button select Team -> Share Project
