Hi,
There are two developers A & B working on a java project. They are using only NetBeans IDE for accessing CVS repository. They can't access the CVS repository using command line. Developer A has been working on the project from start. Developer B is allocated to the same project later.
I have two queries based on the scenario described above:
Q. 1) I want that developer B should get a read-only copy of the source code. Can he get that without using the checkout option? I am asking this because checkout of a source code will automatically provide developer B with an option of checking in some file(s) after modification, which I don't want to happen. If developer B really wants to modify some file, he should explicitly 'checkout' only that particular file from the CVS repository. Also, I want that he should be able to get the central repository updates to local read-only files. Is this possible?
Q. 2) If developer A has created two .html files and developer B wants to create .js files for the same then developer B should be able to get the read-only .html files of developer A so that he can create corresponding .js files. If later, developer A creates one more .html file and updates it in the central repository, then developer B should be able to get a read-only copy of the new file in his local work area. Is this possible?
If I have to install some extra software on their (developer A & B) machines to achieve this, then kindly advise for that too.
Regards,
Gaurav
