Applying a version label

Comparable terms

Different files within a project get revised at different rates. Version labelling, or tagging, the entire project takes a snapshot of the entire project at a given point in time, regardless of the rates of change of the individual files in that project. This way you can mark milestones in the evolution of the project under version control.

This feature is supported in the CVS, Visual SourceSafe, and ClearCase integrations.

CVS

To apply a version label to the open project, select Team|Add Version Label To Project. The Add Version Label To Project dialog box appears.

Name the version label according to your usual practices. Click OK when you're done.

JBuilder applies the version label to the current version of every file that resides in the repository.

Visual SourceSafe

Name the version label according to your usual practices. Enter a comment describing the reason for the label.

Click OK to apply the label across the project and return to the IDE.
