| Java Apache Code Repository |
| The Java Apache Projects uses CVS
to store and manage the code written by its members and all its subprojects' resources. A
basic understanding on how this works is required for you to be able to review latest
snapshots of the code or, if allowed, to commit your own
contributions. |

| What is CVS? |
| CVS is the Concurrent Version System and is a very popular mean of
version control for software projects. It is designed to allow multiple authors to be able
to simultaneously operate on the same source tree. This source tree is centrally
maintained, but each developer has a local mirror of this repository that they make there
changes to. Each developer works on the local tree and updates it frequently to keep it in
synch with the other developers. CVS merges and manages the code for you doing this. When
you are done with your change, you commit it on the main tree and every other gets it with
their updates. |
| How do I get CVS? |
| You can get CVS from http://www.cyclic.com/cyclic-pages/howget.html

are Unix, Mac, Win32 as well as Java versions of the clients available as well as
documentation resources for installing it. |
