In-Depth Information
Figure 8.4 These are the general version control configuration settings for
Visual SourceSafe.
VSS
has a number of additional settings that you can specify by clicking the
Advanced
tab of the
Version Control
settings dialog. The first group of check-
boxes let you specify whether you see an options dialog when performing various
VCS
commands, such as checking in, checking out, adding new files, and so on.
The specific options appearing in the options dialog are different for each action.
You should leave these checkboxes enabled until you've seen the options dialogs
and you're satisfied with their default options. The other controls on the
Advanced
tab let you tweak the way
IDEA
handles comments in
VSS
; they're simi-
lar to the equivalent
CVS
options described earlier.
Setting up StarTeam integration
To use StarTeam with
IDEA
, you need to obtain a copy of the starteam-sdk.jar file;
it's included with the StarTeam
SDK
, available through www.borland.com/star-
team. This library lets
IDEA
communicate with your StarTeam database and inte-
grate it with
IDEA
's version control features. Copy the library from the
SDK
's lib
folder into the lib folder under your
IDEA
installation. You must restart
IDEA
for
it to find the library; next time, you'll be able to specify your StarTeam settings as
shown in figure 8.5.
