Eclipse manages CVS functionality in the CVS Repository perspective. The perspective is made up of four views:
- CVS Repositories manages all the repositories you use.
- CVS Annotate gives you information about a file.
- CVS Resource History shows you when a version of a file was added, who added it, and the changes that were made.
- CVS Editors shows you who saved, or committed, the file to the repository and when it was done.
To get a better understanding of what these views do, we should have an example to work with in the repository. To do this, let’s configure Eclipse to use the local repository we just initialized, and upload our ShelterSite project into CVS.
