Updating Files in a Local Working Directory

Updating files enables you to incorporate any changes that other developers have committed to the repository prior to committing your local changes.

To update a local version of a file:

  1. Right-click the file node in the Versioning, Projects, Files, or Favorites window.
  2. Choose CVS > Update.
  3. The IDE incorporates any changes existing in the repository version of the file.

Updating Projects with Dependencies

If you are working on a project for which there are other required projects, you can update both the main project and all dependent projects using the IDE's Update with Dependencies command.

To update an entire project and all dependent projects:

  1. Right-click the project node in the Projects window.
  2. Choose CVS > Update with Dependencies.
  3. The IDE incorporates any changes existing in the repository version of all of the projects with the local copies.
