Note About Terminology

CMS Support Module commands combine NetBeans Generic VCS terms and CMS terms.

To preserve consistency with other NetBeans VCS configurations while retaining ease of use for OpenVMS users, menu commands are listed in the following format:

NetBeans command name (CMS equivalent command name)

Because many users are likely to be familiar with CMS commands, Help topics generally give preference to the CMS terms for an action (such as "replacing" instead of "checking in") unless referring to the menu command itself.

 

  CMS Command NetBeans VCS Command Name
  Replace Check In
  Reserve Check Out
  Unreserve Undo Check Out
  Fetch Get Latest Version
  Show History History
  Differences Diff
  Create Element Add
  Delete Element Remove

Some other terms are used interchangeably, such as "folder" instead of "directory" when the context is the NetBeans Explorer.
