You've just reached a milestone in the development of your program, and you're ready to start coding some new features. Maybe you just want to explore a different (perhaps more efficient) implementation of a method that already works, but you're not sure if changes or additions will introduce new problems. This is a good time to create a versioned edition of your code.
With VisualAge for Java, you can manage multiple editions of program elements. You have already seen some of the concepts for managing editions. This section briefly reviews these concepts and shows you how to use the edition management features of VisualAge for Java.
In this section, you'll learn about:
Editions are
managed by a team of developers. Packages and projects can only be versioned by their
owners; classes can only be versioned by their developers. Versioning an edition is often
followed by releasing. For information on the team development environment, see Getting
Started for VisualAge for Java, Enterprise Edition.
