Combining Different Application Files

What is the process if more then one person is working on an application and at the end, I want to combine all of the files into one application? Is it more complicated then just importing files?

Thanks, but rather then using revision control, using jdeveloper specifically, is there a procedure to follow?

Ah, now you say JDeveloper. Oracle, eh? BPEL? (I throw up a little in my mouth whenever I think of that.) I'm sure JDeveloper comes with version control, but you'll need to set it up before the team starts coding... Woops!

My understanding is JDeveloper can be integrated with an external version control system like WinCVS for example.

My issue with version control is, there needs to be a main structure first in order to maintain version control.

What i'm dealing with now, is say 5 developers working on different modules and at the end of the project, I want to combine them all into one application. Or maybe one .war file.

Well, I guess there is some kind of interaction between these modules, right? Anyway, I still believe that version control is what you need to do. However, I'm not an expert ... yet ;)

And regarding the main structure, grab whatever you have now and just check it in. Then you'll have your main structure. Also, this is useful for every developer as well even if you don't need (for now) other's people code, because you can go back anytime if you introduced a bug.

But again, this is an advice of an intermediate developer not an expert.
