Problems checking out a branch from a remote CVS repository

Information in this Brief applies to:

• JBuilder
• Windows, Solaris, Linux

Overview

Explains how to check out a branch in a remote CVS repository.

Details

Creating a branch using CVS Administration works. Trying to check out the branch created fails. When selecting the Branch and clicking Scan, no options are displayed. In order to work around this, in JBuilder, select File | New | pull pull project from CVS and then use cvs administration -> update special in order to select the branch (for remote repository).
