Using WinCVS

To use WinCVS to check out your own set of source code files, you must first set up the correct cvs root using the following steps.
  1. Launch WinCvs and select Admin - Preferences. Enter the CVSroot: :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs and click OK.
  2. If this is your first cvs checkout, create a folder in Windows Explorer to hold all of your cvs project folders. Then create a subfolder for this project. (You may even want to create separate subfolders for each module if you're working in more than one.)
  3. In WinCvs, select Admin - Login and enter your CVS password.
  4. Click on the left window in the program and select a folder. Then select Create - Checkout Module. Select the project folder you created earlier.
  5. Enter the project module name and click OK. You should see a scrolling list of filenames as these are created in your folder(s).
  6. Repeat the module creation process for each additional cvs module you wish to check out.

Using Eclipse

Eclipse is one of the most known and used Java IDEs in the market. Here's how to import JForum from the CVS:
  1. In the Resource or Java Perspective, right click and choose Import
  2. The Import / Export window will open. Choose CVS -> Project from CVS. Click Next
  3. The next step asks you which CVS repository configuration to use. If you already have set up java.net there, choose it from the list (Use existing repository location). Otherwise, select Create new new repository location. If you opt to create a new repository, the next step will ask you for the settings. Fill all asked fields and click Next
  4. Now there is the Select Module step. Check Use specified Module name and put jforum there. Please make sure to write jforum in lowercase. Click Next
  5. Now, in the Check out As window, select Check out as project in the Workspace, fill the project name, and click Next
  6. Next step will ask you where to store the files. You can accept the suggested path or enter a new value. Click Next
  7. In the Select Tag window, click Head and then click on the Finish button.
  8. That's all. Now you're ready to start developing JForum
