JBuilder Integration for the Telelogic/Continuus CM

Task-based File Menu
The File menu offers you up to five different CM operations for the current file, if you did choose "Use CM" in the Project Properties Dialog and the corresponding CM repository is task-based.

If you did not select that option, all menu items will be disabled; if the repository is object-based, you will see the Object-based File Menu.

The current file is the one currently shown in the Editor Pane.

If the current file is readonly, only the menu items checkout, status and history are enabled (as shown on the right). Otherwise all menu items except checkout are enabled.

Both task related commands are disabled if the default task is not set (yet).

Checkout to Default Task

Execute a CM checkout command for the current file (menu item shows the name) and associate the file with the current default task.

If the file does not belong to the CM repository, you'll get a message like "Status problem" shown on the right with a hint, that the file is not yet under CM control.


Create in Default Task

Execute a CM create command for the current file (menu item shows the name), so that the file is added as a member of the project in the repository and is associated with the current default task.

If the file already belongs to the CM repository, you'll get the message "Status problem" shown on the right.

Diff

Execute a CM diff command for the current file (menu item shows the name). Depending on the settings in the Project Properties Dialog the result will either be a text window with the diff result in a unix-like format (like the history result shown on the right) or the dialog of the external diff tool chosen in the Project Properties.

If the file does not belong to the CM repository, you'll get a message like "Status problem" shown on the right with a hint, that the file is not yet under CM control.



Status

Check the status of the current file. Possible states are:
  • Uncontrolled
    The file is not currently under the control of CM
  • Removed
    The file has been removed from the project work area
  • Working
    The file has been checked out and is writable.
    Minor states:
    • Locally writable
      The file is checked out, but still unchanged.
    • Locally modified
      The file needs to be checked in
  • Read-Only
    The file is a read-only copy of a revision.
    Minor states:
    • Repository similar
      The file is a copy of the latest revision
    • Repository updated
      Someone posted a newer revision to the server
The result will be a message window naming the current status.

History

Execute a CM history command for the current file (menu item shows the name). The result will be a text window with the history result (shown on the right).

If the file does not belong to the CM repository, you'll get a message like "Status problem" shown on the right with a hint, that the file is not yet under CM control.
