Eclipse + CVS notes and questions
Ecliptic fopdevs,
I have started to look at Eclipse again, having more or less given up
once before due to usability issues on my laptop.
The process so far:
In the CVS Repository Exploring Perspective I added the
cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs repository. A glitch here was that the
password requested was my cvs.apache.org password, rather than the
passphrase for my ssh identity in ~/.ssh, which is usually reqested when
try to access the repository. (Any idea why?)
Opening the repository in the CVS Repositories window gives me three
sub-headings:
HEAD
Branches
Versions
Opening HEAD gives me a list of module folders (and a few other odds and
ends.) This module list, as expected, includes the xml-fop folder.
Opening this folder lists the folder and file content, complete with
revision number on the files. Right-button opens a menu which includes
check out and tag options, an "Add to Branch List..." submenu and a
"Configure Branches and Versions..." submenu.
The Add to Branch List... item merely asks for the name of the branch.
The Configure Branches and Versions... submenu brings up a window which
confused me mightily, and from which I eventually retreated in
confusion. Clicking OK didn't seem to do anything I could relate to.
Opening Branches reveals an empty category.
Opening Versions gives another list of the module menus, including
xml-fop. Opening the xml-fop menu shows that it is empty. Right-button
brings up the "Configure Branches and Versions for xml-fop" window again.
Back to the HEAD xml-fop folder. Right-button, Add to Branch List...,
Enter the name of the branch.
fop-0_20_2-maintain
OK
The hourglass turns... Open Versions->xml-fop. Still nothing.
Open Branches. Bingo! Open fop-0_20_2-maintain.
Open folder xml-fop fop-0_20_2-maintain. The folders and files of
fop-0_20_2-maintain are there, as can be seen bu comparing file revision
numbers with the numbers on the corresponding files displayed under
HEAD>xml-fop.
Back to HEAD xml-fop folder. Right-button. Add to Branch List...
Enter the name of the branch.
FOP_0-20-0_Alt-Design
OK
Open Branches. Open FOP_0-20-0_Alt-Design
Open folder xml-fop FOP_0-20-0_Alt-Design
The set of folders and files from the branch is displayed.
Unfortunately, the fop-0_20_0-maintain branc is no longer present. Grrr.
Let's try Branches->Right-button->Refresh branches
All branches disappear as if by magic.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Jeremias,
I stumbled through the Branch and Version configuration without seeing
your recently added images in the Wiki. They would have saved me a good
deal of time, had I been sensible enough to re-check the Wiki.
the extssh method is internal to Eclipse, which, I assume, is why there
is no reference to my ssh id setup. I will try setting up ext to use
ssh, and see if things work better.
I wanted to try importing my existing branch checkouts, but that didn't
seem to work too well, so I have reverted to performing the Check Out As...
Thanks for the details on the Wiki. You might want to add that HEAD can
be checked out from the HEAD folder (if indeed it can - I'm trying it now.)

I can't help you much with the Unix part of it, because I'm using Putty
on Windows. But I've added a guide for checking out a branch to the Wiki
page: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?FOPIDESetupGuide
As you can see in the images I've added to the Wiki I don't use any
password within Eclipse. I'm using Putty with the Putty Agent where I
can set up the private key once and it is used for any authentication.
However, I don't know how it works on Linux.
You know that page?

I hope this helps.
