Revision Control with the Wireless Toolkit

Print-friendly Version

Question

How can I use a revision control system with the J2ME Wireless Toolkit?

When I create an SCCS, RCS, or CVS directory under /src and build the project, KToolBar tries to compile the delta files saved in those directories, and my project doesn't get built correctly.

Answer

You can set a property in the ktools.properties file to make KToolBar ignore revision control files.

On Windows systems the file is:
<j2mewtk.dir>\wtklib\Windows\ktools.properties

On Solaris systems the file is:
<j2mewtk.dir>/wtklib/SunOS/ktools.properties

Simply add this line to the file to turn on revision control filtering:

kvem.filterRevisionControl: true

This setting will prevent KToolBar from treating SCCS, RCS, and CVS files as source and resource files. Be sure to restart KToolBar after modifying the properties file.

A number of other properties can be set in ktools.properties. Here are a few of the most popular:
