CVS in JDeveloper

I have CVS set up in JDeveloper.
In JDeveloper, when I select a file that is already in CVS, the only Source Control options it gives my are: Update and Commit. The CVS command I need is Edit.I'm using the preview of 903, and cvs support has improved greatly in that version. There's an additional 'Editors' submenu when rightclicking a file, that contains 'Edit file', 'Add watcher' options etc.. This is probably what you want.
Greetings,
Ivo

How to use CVS with JDeveloper

Hi all!
I'm starting a new project and I would like to know how to use CVS with JDeveloper. This is my first project where I will have two more people working with me and I don't know what the better approach is. Should I use CVS that come with JDeveloper (option Internal to Oracle JDeveloper 10g) or should I configure an external repository? In both cases, I don't know what I have to do to have CVS working properly with JDeveloper. Actually I tried to create a new CVS connection in CVS navigator (using the access method Password Server), but when I test I receive the message: Could not open connection to CVS server: general socket failure, sure I must doing something wrong.
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.0.4
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help John!
I installed cvsnt and when I try to create a new CVS connection inside JDeveloper I receive the message: authorization failed: server adminf29786.dixamico.com.br rejected access to /Diversos/DownLoad/CVS/usr/local/cvsroot for user JMartins
I using pserver method and JMartins is my user in windows
There is something that I'm curious about, when I was installing CVSNT I didn't configure any user and password, is there any default user/password?
Thanks!

CVS and JDeveloper 9.0.3

Hi,
I tried to activate source control CVS inside JDeveloper. In the tools menu I activated CVS, but I got always the message "The CVS client is not installed or not located in your system environment path". I'm working with a Windows XP machine. WinCVS 1.3.8 is also installed. Do I need a special version of CVS to work with JDeveloper ?
Where can I set the connect parameter for CVS ? Sorry for stupide questions.

And I have the same problems with integration of CVS.
How have you solved this problem?

Problems using CVS with Jdeveloper - Project

I have Jdeveloper on Windows 2000 and CVS repository on unix.
I am using wincvs.
In the documentation it mentions that I have to create a new project on JDeveloper and then import that project in CVS.
But if I already have files in CVS then how can I get that in JDeveloper ?
When I do a CVS checkout I get the files on my local PC. However I get a message which says that project could not be checked out ..
Now when I do a cvs update JDeveloper tries to update all the files ..
Any suggestions ?

Unfortunately there is no way to do this in 9.0.4. This has been fixed in the 10.1.3 preview release, in 9.0.4 you will need to create your session broker in code to work around the problem.
If you require sessions.xml support for this in 9.0.4, please contact Oracle support.

Working With CVS and JDeveloper 10.1.2 URGENT

Hi Guys,
Can somebody help me out? To work in Team Development we have chosen CVS. I have two versions CVSNT, 2.5.02 and 1.11.13. I have followed every step from the help file, and installed them (first 2.5.02 and then 1.11.13, after un-installing 2.5.02). Now whenever I click CVS Server node from the Connection tab, it always display a message Alert:
The CVS executable is not installed or not located in your system environment path.
although I have added the path in the path variable.
I was going through the article:
Oracle� JDeveloper 10g
Installation Guide
Version 10.1.2
October 2004
where it recomended the CVS version:
Concurrent Version Support (CVS)
* CVS versions 1.10 to 1.11.14
* CVSNT versions 2.0.26 to 2.0.34
If I download the following version, won't I get any error message? If so, then where can I find the versions?
Any help will be appriciated and thank you in advance.

hello i am using
cvs --version
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.02 (Servalan) Build 2064 (client/server)
that i download from cvsnt.org
cvs it's in path variable.
and front-end i use Tortoise CVS that is better because it's integrated in Windows Explorer.
otherwise in JDev select menu Versioning->Select System-> check CVS and then
in tab Connections in CVSServer right click and select new cvs connection.
configure and work.
try to have only a cvs.exe in your machine.
i want help you.

SourceForge SSH CVS on JDeveloper 10g and MacOS

Hi there,
I am trying to use last versión of JDeveloper 10g to import a project into SourceForge (needs SSH CVS). I can't make it connect neither with :ext: or internal JDev's SSH2:CVS. CVS command in my Mac bash shell works (I am using MacOS X as OS)
Any help / directions?
thanks,
Ignacio

Hi Geoff,
thanks a lot for your reply.
when testing the connection I'm just getting:
Testing connection...
Connection test failed: unable to connect.
I've tried :ext: and internal SSH, but it is not working. (It anyway makes some connection when accessing SourceForge's shell server in place of cvs server, but can't import anything, obviously)
I've imported my sources using SSH de sources with shell, but want to use JDeveloper integrated CVS.
Are you using Windows or MacOS?
Thanks again,
Ignacio

Commited changes to cvs are not seen on incomming changes in Jdeveloper

Hi,
We are devlopping application on JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. We are using tortories cvs from jdeveloper. We had no problems for a while, everything worked fine(incoming changes and outgoing changes were properly seen on pending changes tab in jdev). Before a week ago we have been facing a strange problem. Although we have been commiting pages since then, incoming changes tab seemd to be empty.Outgoing changes are shown properly bu we cant see the incoming changes.
Even we reinstalled jdeveloper again nothing seemed to be changed. The problem continues. What can cause this problem?Is this a kind of bug? Or some configurations of jdev are lost?.
Any kind of help will be appriciated.
Thank you

Did you try clearing your java object cache on your machine? Settings -> Control Panel ->Java Control Panel->Temporary Internet Files ->Delete Files.

JDeveloper and CVS and TeamWork

Hi,
we have a small team with 4 members and are developing in JDeveloper 10.1.2 with CVS plug-in (struts, toplink, jsp).
We are beginners and are frustrated now: every commit/update causes problems.
Always are problems with
- project.jpr files (synchronization among developers)
- sessions.xml (we cannot really add this file to cvs)
- state of offline tables (and digrams) are sometimes wrong show: restart of JDeveloper is necessary
- many JDevelopers files are unvisible, but must be added to cvs
- and more and more
Please - are somebody using JDeveloper & CVS in team with satisfaction? Are our problems beginner-problems or is this way wrong?
Thanks for your experience.
Jara

My biggests issues with JDeveloper and CVS are as follows:
1. Oracle puts out an article that talks about Version controllable XML and the biggest culprits of violators of this rule are the Oracle project files: StrutsPAgeFlow.oxd_struts, ViewController.jpr, and Model.jpr. Not nice when you can no longer open your Struts-config.xml file due to all the <==== lines in the file! In almost all instances, since we've built most of the files and aren't adding/removing much from the project as a whole, we can easily correct these problems then commit again, or just issue a clean update on them, and disregard (especially when it appears to be an ordering issue)
2. Also, we've seen model.jpr files switch contents (areas look like they are swapped around) in between versions. Why? The files are identical except the position of the nodes.
3. I really want to know my OUT-OF-SYNC files BEFORE I do an update. Kind of like the Uncommitted files window, I'd like: Hey, how out of sync am I?
4. The COMPARE utility is very nice, however, once CVS takes over and does the automatic MERGE, you're really left with a mess (at times). Any time we get a "failure to update" message, we issue a compare against the current reposistory version verses version on disk and see what the differences are. Then we search for whether our stuff was merged properly.
5. The only docs I've seen on Jdeveloper and CVS are "introductory" type documentation. Don't put out a document that talks about issues that are "out-of-scope" when these are the very issues that people need to deal with every day, and are looking for answers. The "oracle jdeveloper 10g" handbook is no better, offering about 4 pages of an "overview of CVS".
6. People have asked before about CVS, even on Metalink and an answer from Oracle is to look at an OTN post. I'm sorry, but that really doesn't cut it, especially when your support bill is over $500K/year.
enough rambling...
CVS and Jdeveloper 10.1.2 are working at our shop with 3-4 developers on the project, but it can be paintful during the "conflicts during merge" times.

CVS with SSH Protocol 2 and Jdeveloper 9.0.3 production release

I have configured WinCVS with NetworkSimplicity SSH using Protocol 2 key generation and it works fine.
When I try to configure CVS in JDeveloper, on the test page I get:
Testing connection...
Timed out waiting for process to exit.
Connection test failed: unable to connect.
The Jdeveloper JVM is the default one. I have tried to follow some of technet guides - such as setting the env. parameter CVS_RSH to ssh,... but without success.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Usman

Found the problem.
In the CVS connection wizard, for the remote shell setting in the external locator dialog, enter a -2 to the path of ssh. For example C:\Program Files\NetworkSimplicity\ssh\ssh.exe -2

JDeveloper CVS together

have anyone of you used jdeveloper as a development ide and also cvs for version control? i had tried this one but ended up with more complications than development?Please update me if any one has used cvs and jdeveloper together???????

Look at the survey on the side of this forum - it shows that there are people using this combination.

CVS branching in JDeveloper Studio Edition Version?

Hi there,
how can i create a CVS-Branch for a project that is in CVS ? I use JDeveloper Release version(Studio Edition Version). There is a "tag" section which gives tag to the project, but i think this does not mean that we can branch. Is there another way to create branch?

JDeveloper can do almost all the features of CVS with the embedded CVS Versioning plug-in except branching capability. You can see the activities for CVS with JDeveloper from the internal documentation of JDeveloper which is great to learn the details of CVS and JDeveloper. Just click the "Table Of Contents" from "Help" menu and search for "cvs' and read the tutorials.

Problems with CVS and improvements required

Developing with JDeveloper 9.0.3 preview we have found some bugs and some improvements that would be very useful.
Problems
1)     Overlay icons on versioned files dont show the real state of the file as described in the Using Concurrent Versions System (CVS) With JDeveloper section of the Using Support for Team Based Development help manual (this issue was solved with a patch for the 9.0.2 release but it cant be applied for the 9.0.3 preview).
2)     When CVS finds revision conflicts on the project file (.jpr) or on the descriptors of BC4J objects and packages, it overwrites (properly) the source file with the <<<<<< and >>>>>> comments to denote the conflict, and the warning for the conflict is signaled in the CVS log; but it would be nice (because it is annoying to check everytime the CVS log especially for a critical message like a conflict) having a message box reporting these critical messages.
3)     During the import module function to import the project files into the CVS server, the image files (such as .GIF and .JPG) ought to be automatically added as binary files, or better still, it would be useful a configuration fuction to enumerate the extensions to be added as binary files.
4)     After some types of CVS commands the CVS editors and CVS watchers windows becomes suddenly closed.
Required Improvements
1)     It would be useful a function showing all the files to be added to source control in a list and in a more general case, the versioning status of all the project files, without having to expand all the nodes of the project tree.
2)     Its uncomfortable the current behaviour for the check out/edit on the project file (jpr) that automatically selects all files included within it. It would be useful to explicitly select to operate only on the project file or to include also the files within it; or at least to place the project file at the top of the list.
3)     The Edit Files command for the CVS source control ought to support the cvs edit option -c (to check that working files are unedited) and an option to execute an update command before the edit one, to have the most recent revision of that file.
4)     The opportunity to treat every type of BC4J object as a single CVS entity, taking all the files required by the single BC4J object grouped together and then checked-in, checked-out, etc. in a simple one-click operation.

1) Overlay icons [cut] Has the problem returned in 9.0.3 and if so can you give me details of your cvs client version i.e CVSNT 1.0.11.1.3 etc.. It would be really helpful in tracking this down. The CVS version in use is (from the cvs --version command output): Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 1.11.1.3 (Build 57a) (client/server). The JDeveloper version is 9.0.3.988 preview.This is the client version we test against and recommend. We have seen no problems here and can't reproduce this. Could you help us track this down by supplying the answers to the following questions?
1, What OS and CVS version is the server using?
2, For a file that is showing the incorrect overlay could you check the timestamp in the CVS\entries file and post that and the timestamp on the actual file system file?
3, What timezone are you currently working in and is daylight savings time in operation?
and finally
4, Is the CVS server in the same timezone?
Hopefully this will give us a good start on where the problem is.
[cut]
We have already configured cvswrappers to properly handle binary files, but the cvs import function seems to ignore these settings, while cvs add uses it. If you try to import a project with some gif files using jdev, having configured cvs as described, these files will be corrupted. After this, if you add another gif file using cvs add function (not add binary) the settings will be used and the file are correctly stored.
It seems that to make the import command work properly, file types have to be explicitly specified for each binary file (-kb option) on the cvs command line. To verify this we have tried the same operations using wincvs client. Inspecting the log window, we see that the client explicitly force the file types (they use an internal filtering to recognize binary files instead of file extension):
cvs import -I ! -I CVS -W "*.gif -k 'b'" -m "no message" testmodule avendor areleaseRight, I'll add this information to the bug and make sure it gets evaluated.
4) After some types of CVS commands the CVS editors and CVS watchers windows becomes suddenly closed. Could yet tell me what these operations are so I can log a bug? We dont know if its effectively a bug, but the window becomes closed when automating layout switching occurs (if its enabled in preferences), for example: Im in the ide without any open editors (current layout Editing), I get the editors list, then I open an uiXML file (the layout switch to Web Editing) and the list disappears. Even if the layout switch back to Editing (automatically or manually) the list is not re-shown (its not saved in the layout).This is an issue with JDevs layout in that the SCM windows are not default in any layout and so they are closed when the switch occurs. This is being looked at for a future release.
3) The Edit Files command for the CVS source control ought to support the cvs edit option -c (to check that working files are unedited) and an option to execute an update command before the edit one, to have the most recent revision of that file. I'll add enhancement requests for these I especially like the update before edit suggestion. For team based development the reserved edit functionality (the -c option) would be very useful, especially for working with business components.I'll add your use case to the enhancement, as this is a very good reason to have "-c". Hopefully if we can implement 4) and integrate source control and BC4J better in a future release.
4) The opportunity to treat every type of BC4J object as a single CVS entity, taking all the files required by the single BC4J object grouped together and then checked-in, checked-out, etc. in a simple one-click operation. We would also like to have support for this in source control and it is a feature that is currently under investigation.It would be -very- useful if, while trying to edit a generic component under source control, jdev suggested (in the edit dialog window, for example) which other files are likely to be modified, giving the chance to edit them also (if not already). For example, trying to edit a ViewObject component, it will be probably needed also to edit the .jpx, the project, the business package descriptor, in addition to the component implementation and descriptor.Agreed.
We also have some doubts on the meaning of the dialog that often appears after a checkout or a folder update, asking New checked out files were detected; how would you like them to be dealt with?. Can you explain whats the behavior of each choice?The three choices breakdown as follows
1. Open checked out files in the active project
This adds all files to the project that is active in the IDE, if all files were already in the project no change will appear to occur. If new files have been downloaded they will now appear in the project
2. Create a New project for the checked out files
Generate a completely new fresh project from the checked out files, similar to the default behaviour of checkout module in JDev
3. Do not open a new checked out files.
Perform no action with the files, lets the user add them if they so wish.
Thanks for the replies,
