JBCcm

Olaf Deterding-Meyer

This piece of software is a JBuilder Opentool, which enables JBuilder 3.5 to X to integrate with Continuus Change Management 5.x and Telelogic CM Synergy 6.x. The program is partially based on the cvs sample from Borland which comes with JBuilder 3.5, which uses the cvs command line interface (CLI) to issue commands to the version control system. Initially changes to the cvs sample were made to

• replace cvs commands with CM commands (object based as well as task based commands since version 2.0!)
• replace cvs settings by CM settings in the JBuilder Properties Dialog (including full GUI option since version 2.0!)
• introduce a new log window class for better output of messages, results etc.
• introduce derived File Node classes to use different icons for writable and read-only files in the JBuilder Project View Pane

The tool originally wasn't much more than a first attempt, but it worked fine with object based CCM repositories. Task based working with CCM is supported since version 2.0. JBCcm in the current form is the result of two client's projects followed by my personal demand for a project to keep in touch with programming Java.

I dont have much time to go on developing it, and because I don't need it myself, I tried to find someone else who wants to go on with it. I've been in contact with Telelogic Germany and gave them the tool for evaluation purposes. They've alraedy distributed it to some of their customers based on some kind of "gentlemen agreement". Since September 2001 Telelogic Germany and I have agreed to cooperate on JBCcm; see credits.txt for details.

Please send your feedback if you experience any problems, if you have any ideas how to improve the tool or if you'd like to improve the tool yourself.
