Setting up CVS in NetBeans IDE

For the most part, there is no setup necessary to work with files in CVS. Whenever you access files that are in a CVS working directory, the IDE offers the full range of CVS commands and status display for the files.

You can tell that a directory or project is in a CVS working directory by right-clicking the project and choosing CVS. If the CVS menu looks like Figure 4-1, the IDE is recognizing the project as a CVS working directory.
