RE: Handling a project environment

["Lubbat, Ramsey" <clrcom!clear-nt!rlubbat@uunet.uu.net>]

We have a couple of developers working on the same project. We both code on
NT and we use the ClearCase source control system. Your best bet is to have
a single project to which the developers can check files into and out. We
have found several caveats here, especially if you use the GUI development
tools.

1) When adding objects to or removing objects from your project, make sure
you check out the PB.project and the Makefile files. These are the files
that get altered when classes, resources, web components, etc. are added to
or removed from a project.

2) When adding EO's to or removing EO's from EOModeler, make sure you check
out the index.eomodeld file. This is the book keeping file for EOModeler
(like above for ProjectBuilder).

3) When using WebObjects Builder to build the GUI of your web components,
make sure you check out the h, m, wod, and html files. Also, if you are
going to be adding EO's to the component (by dragging them in from
EOModeler), make sure you check out the woo file. This is the file that
keeps track of the information that initializes the display groups formed as
a result of dragging in the EO.

If you keep this in mind, you should have no problems working together. Just
be careful merging changes to the PB.project and Makefile files.
