CVS Integration in JWS8
I'm running JSW8 and trying to get it integrated with CVS.
I've set up CVS and tested it in command mode to confirm it's working.
I then started JWS8 and created a Versioning Manager, pointing it at my CVS repository. I then clicked "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Init Local Repository" and the command ran successfully.
I then created an "index.html" file in the Web Pages folder.
I'm now trying to check in this file, but cannot see a way to do it. According to the documentation, when I'm in File view and I right click on the "index.html" file, the popup menu should include a "CVS" -> "Add" option. However, no "CVS" option appears in the popup menu.
If I go to the "Versioning" -> "CVS" menu, there is a "check out" option, but no "check in" option.
Has anyone been able to get CVS integrated with JWS8?
If so, is there a simple step (or steps) that I've missed?

Thanks for the advice. I've now got CVS integrated with JWS8.
Coming from the Eclipse and Websphere world, I have to say that setting up CVS in JWS8 is a bit more difficult and not as intuative...
Here's how it's done:
1. Create a project. Choose your project folder. (ex. "c:\myProject")
2. Create a new, empty folder to be used as the repository. (ex. "C:\myProject_rep")
3. In your CVS server, create a new entry, and point it to the repository folder (ex. "/cvs_myProject" --> "c:\myProject_rep")
4. Choose "Versioning" -> "Versioning Manager" and create a new CVS versioning manager, using the CVS path (ex. "/cvs_myProject").
5. If your CVS server does not initialize the repository by default, click on the "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Init Local Repository" and initialize the repository.
6. Choose "Versioning" -> "CVS" -> "Import", and do a CVS 'import' to bring the project folder into CVS. (ex. import "c:\myProject" into "/cvs_myProject")
* If you check the "Perform Checkout After Import" box, all your files will be checked out.
* If you leave this box blank, you'll need to manually check your files. This can be done by right-clicking the file name, and from the popup menu, choose "CVS" -> "Add" to add the file to CVS version control the first time, then doing a "CVS" -> "Commit".
7. You can now perform CVS functions on any file in the project by right-clicking on it, and choosing "CVS" from the popup menu.
