CMSC 341
Project 0

Description

If any part of the process described below fails, think about the error message for a while and see if you can figure out what went wrong. If you can't, email Mr. Bergeron from your GL account. Cut and paste the command you entered and the response you received into the body of the email.

Here are your tasks:

• Follow the directions in using CVS to check out the project 0 repository. The following commands should work when run from any gl machine (be sure to use your gl username in the second command):

         cd
         cvs -d /afs/umbc.edu/users/r/b/rberge1/pub/cs341s09/Proj0 checkout -d MyProj0 your_gl_username
  

• Write a small program, such as the "Hello World" program, in a file named Proj0.java in your local copy of the project 0 repository. For example:

         cd MyProj0
         emacs Proj0.java
  

  After invoking emacs, or your favorite text editor, write whatever code you want in Proj0.java, save it, and exit the editor.

• Follow the directions on using CVS to add your Java file to the repository and check it in. For example:

         cvs add Proj0.java
         cvs commit
  

  Note that when you commit changes, CVS will open an editor in which you are supposed to type a log entry that describes what you've done to the code. When you exit the editor your commit will be finalized.

• After checking in Proj0.java, remove that file from your working directory and then run cvs update. If your Proj0.java reappears, then everything is working correctly. For example:

         rm Proj0.java
         ls
         cvs update
         ls
