Definition
- A single project (set of related files) managed by CVS is called a ''module''. A CVS server stores the modules it manages in its ''repository''.
- Acquiring a copy of a module is called checking out . The checked out files serve as a working copy, sandbox or workspace.
- Steps To Follow
- The following image refers to the recently discussed post on NetBeans Google Group.
- For more information, go directly to the section "Role of nbbuild/build.xml" on this page.
Running checkout Target from NB 6.0

- Also, Refer to Faqs On Using CVS for NetBeans IDE.
Setting up "nbbuild" folder
First of all, make a folder named
nb_all or
NetBeans_proj (refer image) or any name you feel like, anywhere in your computer.
- Method 1
- 1. First of all, download the nbbuild.zip from the enclosed attachments on this page.
- 2. Now, extract the zip folder using Winzip or Winrar, into the above made folder.
- Method 2
- 1. Open NetBeans IDE, click on Versioning Menu, select CVS ---> Checkout...
- 2. Enter values as shown in the image, anoncvs stands for anonymous user, leave the Password field empty.
- 3. If you have your NetBeans account, then enter your username in place of anoncvs and password in the empty field.
One can choose any directory, C:\nb_all not mandatory.
But, select module as nbbuild only.
- 4. Now, create a file user.build.properties inside nbbuild folder, and add following content in it.
nb.clusters.list=nb.cluster.nb ,nb.cluster.platform,nb.cluster.ide,nb.
cluster.harness,nb.cluster.java,nb.cluster.apisupport,nb.cluster.xml,nb.
cluster.j2ee,nb.cluster.profiler
#,nb.cluster.xml,nb.cluster.soa
build.compiler=extJavac
javac.compilerargs=-J-Xmx512m
permit.jdk6.builds=true
sigtest.skip.check=true
- 5. Verify whether values of nb.clusters.list are in sync with the one present in cluster.properties file in nbbuild folder.
- 6. If this method doesn't work out, then follow Method 1.
Role Of nbbuild/build.xml
- Steps to open "nbbuild" project
- 1. Open NetBeans 6.0, open Project, browse and locate nbbuild folder.
- 2. Open the project node in Project Tab on Left Tabbed Pane in NetBeans, double-click build.xml
- Steps to Checkout
- 1. Press Ctrl-F and Search for target name="checkout".
- 2. Now right-click the XML tag and select "Checkout" option, the checkout process begins. As you can see there's an option "Check new XML" its because, during the checkout process, nbbuild/build.xml got updated, and "Checkout" option got removed from it.
- 3. Minimize the NetBeans IDE and relax, come back after few hours, to play with your working copy of NetBeans source-code. Then, build it and modify as per your needs.

- Finally, the checkout process ends.
- If suppose, net connectivity gets distruped in between...
- Don't worry! Firstly, stop the process, by clicking on the red square button as shown above.
- Then, re-run it by clicking on the green double-arrow button just above stop button.
- What NB does, is that it checks through its list of modules, which are checked out or not.
- Then, it simultaneously checks whether the checked-out modules are updated one's or not.
- Finally, the CVS checkout the remaining modules and finish off the process.
