Version Control

JDE supports the following version control systems (VCS): Choose Preferences -> Version Control (in the main JDE menu bar) to select one of these options. Be sure that the VCS commands are in your execution path.

The file version control commands act on the file that is currently open in the editor window. Choose File -> Version to see the version control commands.

The following VCS commands appear in the Version submenu:
Checkout Checks out the file currently open in the editor from the VCS--makes the file writable.
Check In Checks in the file that is currently open in the editor back into the VCS--makes the file read-only.
Check In New If the file that is currently open in the editor is not under the control of a VCS, this command places it under VCS control--makes the file read-only.
Uncheckout Undoes the effect of the Checkout command. Any modifications you made to the file are deleted and the file is checked back into the VCS--makes the file read-only.
