Before you can use the VisualAge for Java interface for checking classes in and out of an external SCM tool, you must set your default SCM connection parameters. Before you can set your parameters, you must meet the prerequisites described in the file on preparing to use an external SCM tool. See below for a list of links to related information.
To establish the default parameters for your external SCM connection:
We use the term project to refer to your SCM tool's basic unit of organization. For more details, see the related files on SCM concepts and on preparing to use the external SCM interface. Links to these files are listed below.
These parameters will now be passed from VisualAge for Java to your external SCM tool, when you check classes in and out or perform other SCM operations.
The next step is to add your classes to source control in the external SCM tool, so you can check them in and out. See the list of links below for more information.
