Enabling Source Control within JDeveloper

by Jeff Hunter, Sr. Database Administrator

By default, source control is not enabled in JDeveloper. You enable this by selecting the active plugin in the Preferences dialog. (Tools | Preferences) node, Source Control. (You can also select File | Source Control | Enable to open this dialog.) When you select a plugin, the page displays fields specific to the plugin. After you fill in the fields and click OK, source control will be enabled.

• Oracle SCM

  When JDeveloper connects to Oracle SCM, it will display the following:

  Found Oracle Repository ™ : Release 4.0.12.80.6

  You then create a connection to the SCM repository using the Connections Wizard (started from the right-click menu on the Oracle9i SCM node in the System Navigator).

• CVS

  When JDeveloper connects to CVS, it will display the following:
