| Synchronizing a project using CVS [message #119380] | Fri, 21 November 2003 12:36  |  | 
| Eclipse User  |  |  |  |  | Right now I have Eclipse 2.1 and am testing 3.0M4.  I've converted to using Eclipse for managing all my Jakarta projects.  For instance I have
 checked-out the CVS version of jetspeed 1.4b4.  I have deployed several
 portals based on 1.4b4 and of course the users of these production
 portals have been in and making their changes, personalizations, etc.  I
 would now like to upgrade these portals to a later version of jetspeed
 that have some bugs fixed.  I'm trying to figure out how the CVS
 capabilities in eclipse can help me do this in the simplest manner
 possible.  If I synchronize with the HEAD of course I can pull in all
 the latest jetspeed changes and hopefully merge any conflicts locally
 for the basic jetspeed.  I can then build, deploy and test the new
 version of our generated basic jetspeed war file.  Great.  But, is there
 some way that I can then pull one of the existing user production
 portals (war file) into eclipse (with all of the users changes) and use
 CVS to merge in the new changes from the new jetspeed war?  I'm thinking
 this is going to take some type of CVS export/import sequence.  Could
 someone sort of detail the procedures that I would need to use with
 eclipse CVS to perform this type synchronization for my production
 portals?  Thanks.

 Gerry,
 
 If I understand you correctly, I think you could do this using Compare
 wit>Each Other. You would need to load your project from CVS and the
 production WAR into another project. If the directory structure is the
 same in both projects then you should be able to select both and choose
 Compare with>Each Other. The comparison editor allows you to view files
 in the compare and copy changes between the compared contents and save
 the changes. Compare with Each Other works on projects, folders or files.
