Introduction to jCVS191
6.5.3Using jCVS
At this point you should be faced with the main jCVS screen. (See Figure 6-1.) The tabs
along the top permit you to perform various CVS commands against one or more repositories. If
you have problem accessing a repository, the
Test
tab will allow you to check basic connectiv-
ity and access rights.
Once you have checked projects out from a repository, you may transfer them to the Work-
Bench in order to have easy access to them. This is simply an area where all of your current
projects can reside.
6.5.3.1Configuring the jCVS Client
To begin, you will want to set up a few configuration options before beginning work on a

6.5.3.2Checking Out a Project
