Jython via CVS in Eclipse

Eclipse is a CVS client and can be used to get the project from the repository. It takes a few steps to set it up, but seems to work nice once you do. Please correct any mistakes. (Works for Eclipse 3.0.1)

• File -> New -> New Project -> CVS folder (expand) -> Checkout Projects from CVS -> Next

• Set up the repository properties

  • Host: cvs.sourceforge.net

  • Repository Path: /cvsroot/jython

  • User: anonymous

  • Password: <leave blank>

  • Connection type: pserver

  • Use Default Port <the default>

  • Click Next

• Create the project

  • Select Use an existing module (..)

  • Select jython

  • Click Next

  • Select Check out as a project in the workspace FootNote(I tried using `Check out as a project configured using the New Project Wizard` but it put me in an endless loop.)

  • Click Next

  • Click Next

• Now, scan files from the repository to find tags from the repository by scanning them from files>

  • Select HEAD

  • Click Configure Tags

  • Drill down into org.python.core and select __builtin__.java

    • You should see a list of tags (Versions, Branches)checked in the upper right hand pane.

  • Click Add Checked Tags to make the CVS plugin aware of them

  • Click OK Eclipse scans the selected file and pulls out all of the available tags.

• Checkout the tag you want into the project
  • Select the branch or version you want (drill down)

  • Click Finish
