<h1 class="topictitle1">Setting CVS repository defaults</h1>
<div>
<div class="section"> <p>When you use a CVS repository during team development, you might
want to use the following setup to ensure that the CVS versioning support
ignores the project's build output folder:</p>
</div>
<ol>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Create a file called .cvsignore in your project's <span class="filepath">WebContent/WEB-INF</span> folder.</span>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In this file, add a line with the name of the build output folder
(for example, <samp class="codeph">classes</samp>).</span> <p>Currently, you have
the option of creating this file automatically (as a feature) when using the
New Dynamic Web Project wizard.</p>
<p>When you synchronize with a CVS team
stream, the output folder will be ignored.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In addition, you should turn off the <span><span class="uicontrol">Prune empty
directories</span></span> option. Select <span><span class="menucascade"><span class="uicontrol">Windows</span>
&gt; <span class="uicontrol">Preferences</span></span></span>, switch to the <span><span class="menucascade">
<span class="uicontrol">Team</span> &gt; <span class="uicontrol">CVS</span></span></span> properties
page, and ensure that the <span><span class="uicontrol">Prune empty directories</span></span> check
box is not checked.</span> <p>If this option is enabled and your Web project's
source directory is empty, it will be deleted when the project is added to
your workspace from a CVS repository, causing a Java™ build error.</p>
</li>
</ol>
