Chapter 13. Team Ownership with CVS

Team ownership is an essential part of agile development. All source code is available for contribution by any team member, and frequent, short iterations require that code be committed to the repository for continuous integration and testing. Eclipse supports this practice with generalized APIs for team repositories and a complete implementation of those APIs for the open source Concurrent Versions System (CVS).

This chapter explains how to share your projects using CVS team capabilities built into the workbench. Other repository client implementations are available as Eclipse plug-ins that work in a similar way and share common views for repository synchronization and code comparison; see the section entitled “Contributions” at the end of this chapter.
