To work with a version control system in the IDE, you must mount your working directory of version-controlled files as a filesystem in the IDE. You must also have the version control software that you want to use installed on your computer.
You can use the New Generic VCS wizard to mount a working directory that you already have on your system or to check out a new working directory from the VCS repository. The wizard lets you select from any of the predefined VCS profiles or create your own custom profile.
To mount a CVS, PVCS, or VSS filesystem:
Once you have completed the wizard, a new VCS filesystem node appears in
the Filesystems tab in the Explorer. In the Explorer, the filesystem is represented
by a purple VCS filesystem icon (),
followed by the name of the filesystem's VCS profile and the name of the working
directory. The CVS status for each file appears in brackets after its name.

You can download more VCS profiles from the NetBeansTM web site at http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html. If none of the profiles fits your needs, you can create a new profile. |
