How To Perform Basic Tasks

The order in which you perform some activities in the Plug-In for Eclipse may vary, but you can perform the following basic tasks:

  1. On your first use of the Plug-In for Eclipse, you must log in to CA Harvest SCM. Open the New CA Harvest SCM Connection dialog and define your CA Harvest SCM login credentials.
  2. In the CA Harvest SCM Change Manager perspective, navigate to the Explorer view, select a folder, and add it to your workspace.

    The folder becomes an Eclipse project.

  3. Edit the workspace project resources: create, modify, and save file resources locally.
  4. Test your changes.
  5. Synchronize the workspace project.
  6. When you complete your changes, release your workspace project to the repository.
  7. Merge your versions with the trunk.
  8. Use the CA Harvest SCM lifecycle to update your form and promote or demote your change package.

Note: Though procedures may use the Navigator view, these processes are also available from the other Eclipse workspace resource views.
