I'm sure you could do it that way, but I usually do the opposite. I
start by using the CVS command line client to check out a project's
source tree and then create the IntelliJ project. I've just found it
easier to work in this order. But that's because I'm a command line
guy. I still do a lot of work on the command line including CVS and
builds.
The procedure to use from the command line can be found here:
http://castor.codehaus.org/cvs.html#Anonymous-CVS-Access
Just copy/paste these commands (without the dollar sign) into your
command line. These two commands require the CVS binary to be in your
PATH. These commands will create a dir named castor that contains the
entire source tree. Once this is complete, create a new IntelliJ
project and point it at the castor dir. When IntelliJ finishes the
project creation and the project is open, go to the IntelliJ settings,
click on Version Control, select CVS from the popup menu, click OK and
click Close. The project is now CVS enabled. Notice the CVS menu
between the Tools and Windows menus. All CVS related functionality is
available here or in the context menu (right-click). This makes some
of the CVS work easier like comparisons, annotations, commits, status,
etc. But I find that I have to resort to the command line for creation
of patches, CVS administrative functions or any complex CVS function.
Once you've got the project CVS enabled in IntelliJ, installation of
the CVS bar plugin is a must. But if you're looking for a much more
rich CVS experience within IntelliJ, I suggest looking at TMate
(http://www.tmatesoft.com/). I just started using it and so far I
really like it.
