Checking in the project files

To check the project in, complete the following steps.
In the Project Editor
Remember that, in the last section Saving a Project Tree view, you saved a project set which we called MySources. Use this set again and since we will be version controlling OfficeApp.shared:

- in the Project Tree, checkmark OfficeApp.shared as well.

We won't checkmark the jdk_src_java.proj project because there is no need to version control this project since we won't be making any changes to it.
In the Project Editor
We will now check in all the projects' files to the Repository.

From the menu, choose File > Select All.
From the menu, choose File > Check In....

SNiFF+J informs you that it cannot find the directories of the project in the RWE root directory (they haven't been created yet). You will now have SNiFF+ initialize your RWE by copying the PWE project directory structure into the RWE. This dialog will reappear for each new Repository directory, unless you enable Repeat.

3. Select the Repeat check box and press Yes to create the necessary Repository directories for the project.
   When SNiFF+ has finished initializing your RWE, the Check In dialog appears.

In the Multiple Check In dialog
You can use this dialog to check in versions of single or multiple files. When you have made changes to multiple files, you can check in all the files at the same time and associate them with a change set. By doing so, you can perform a variety of version-control operations on all the files in a change set at the same time.
At this point, although we haven't made any changes, we will make use of the Change Set field to reflect the fact that we are checking in the initial versions of all the files in the project.

Leave the Version field blank. SNiFF+ will automatically assign a version number (1.1) and later increment it automatically.
In the Change Set field, enter a description, e.g.,

Initial_file_set .
In the Comment field, enter a descriptive text, e.g., Original OfficeApp files .
Press Ok.
In the Project Editor
When the check in process is over, take a look at your Project Editor. The following will have changed:

- The files in the File List are no longer in bold typeface. This means they are now read- only.
- The icons in the Project Tree have also changed to indicate that the projects, too, are read-only.
To get an overview of what icons and typefaces signalize in a particular tool, choose
Help > Quick Ref.

Review
In this chapter you checked in all the files into the repository.
The next part of this tutorial introduces you to the SNiFF+ browsing tools.
