The IDE comes with profiles for working with CVS, PVCS, and Visual Source Safe
on various operating systems. You can look at the list of profiles by choosing
Versioning Mount Version Control
Generic VCS and clicking on the Version Control System Profile combo box. Additional
VCS profiles are available from the NetBeans web site at http://vcsgeneric.netbeans.org/profiles/index.html.
If you want to investigate how a profile's commands and variables are configured, use the Edit Commands and Edit Variables buttons in the Advanced panel of the New Generic VCS wizard. If none of the available VCS profiles suit your version control system and operating system, you can create your own profile.
To create a profile for a VCS:
The file name is given to an XML file where configuration information for the profile is stored. The profile label is used as the name of the profile in the Version Control System Profile combo box. The profile label is also used as the name of the profile's VCS commands submenu.

You can use the Generic VCS customizer to reconfigure your profile at any time. Right-click any filesystem mounted with the profile and choose Customize. After making the required changes, click Save As in the Profile tab and choose the same profile name. If you do not save your changes to the profile, they will only be applied to the individual filesystem. |
