Currently, there is some confusion in Version Manager->Add window. -What's the meanings of 'Perform checkout' checkbox -What's the meanings of 'Set offline mode' checkbox selecting the 'check out' checkbox and some/one module(s) had got, but every time I want to edit/view the file, it always try to connect the remote server(repository). whatever setting you set to the 'offline mode' checkbox it was effective. so, if you - didn't select the 'check out' checkbox All you got is null version manager setting. - really select the 'check out' checkbox All you got is the snapshoot of the repository It is reasonable to name to 'browse' and nothing relative to 'check out' Continue, if you like to work with the checked out source as normal netbeans project you have to 'New project with existing source', which currently haven't supply one option for copying the source to netbeans workspace directory. So, the new created project work at the same location with the versioning window. But if you are offline(disconnect to remote server/shut down the external network connection) you still can work in project window but refused in version window. So why not just one step to 'check out as netbean project' which is the original intention if I'm not mistake. pprun
- didn't select the 'check out' checkbox > All you got is null version manager setting. > - really select the 'check out' checkbox > All you got is the snapshoot of the repository And if process of the checkout failed or (in Netbeans4.1dev)didn't select the 'check out' checkbox, you will have not chance to checkout any module. Becuse the 'check out' isn't listed on CVS->... menu. If you try to CVS->Refresh, VCS output say,"cvs [update aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first".
