To use the version management functionality available in Dimensions for Eclipse you must share your Eclipse projects with Dimensions CM. Sharing projects maps the projects either to single projects or streams in Dimensions, or to subfolders within project containers. When you map a single Eclipse project to a single Dimensions project, the project mappings occur at the root level; the root of the Eclipse project maps to the root of the Dimensions CM project. Dimensions CM attempts to create a project or stream with the same name as the Eclipse project. If the actual Eclipse project name does not meet the requirements for project names in Dimensions CM a modified file name is used. Dimensions CM places the files in a project under Dimensions CM control and a copy of the files are placed into the Dimensions CM repository. You can get or check out the files to your local workspace, where you can edit the files, and then merge or check in your changes into source control.
To learn more about Dimensions projects, streams, and parallel development concepts, see the Serena Dimensions User’s Guide or Getting Started with Serena Dimensions.
