OpenEJB QuickStart Guide


Logging into the CVS server

In the CVS world, downloading is referred to as checking out. Before you can checkout the OpenEJB source from the repository, you need to login. To log into the cvs server at SourceForge where the OpenEJB project source lives. Execute the following command in your shell:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openejb.sf.net:/cvsroot/openejb login

When it prompts you for the CVS password, simply hit the Enter key.

Checking out the source

After you have logged in, you can checkout the source code and execute other CVS commands. To checkout the OpenEJB source, go to the directory where you would like to place the files and execute the following command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.openejb.sf.net:/cvsroot/openejb co openejb

NOTE: The text above should be on one line and executed as one command.

When you do a checkout, a copy of the newest files in the repository is downloaded to a directory on your local machine. This is called a working copy and is yours to play with, edit, or manage as you see fit. Changes made to your working copy do not become a permanent part of the repository until they are checked in.

When files are checked into the repository, they are uploaded from the working copy on your machine to the CVS repository on the ExoLab server. The files then become a permanent part of the repository and can be checked out by anyone.

Checking in source files (committing)

Checking in files, known as committing, requires special access which is granted on an individual basis. If you would like to contribute changes to files or new files, you can email the files to the OpenEJB Developer mailing list for review.
