Hi,

I am starting work on a Flex server project that was begun by a Flex
developer who is no longer available. The CVS setup seems unwieldy and
I wonder if there's a way to setup to avoid the unwieldiness. 

It's running on Tomcat and the setup is as follows:

TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/flex/myapp/[MXML and SWF files are here]
TOMCAT_ROOT/webapps/flex/WEB-INF/flex/user_classes [all the AS classes
are here] 

The CVS module is for myapp, and it has a 'src' folder that has the
source tree in it, but if I want to use it, my workflow is:

- Check out myapp from CVS
- copy contents of 'src' into the WEB-INF/flex/user_classes dir, which
is outside the CVS context of myapp
- Work on N number of files
- At the end of each work session, copy the changed files back into
src and commit

This seems like a pain in the ass, because a) there's all that extra
copying, and b) it'll be hard to keep track of what files have changed.

Is there a way to set up Flex builder to have CVS versions of the
public files (MXML, SWF) in one directory, and CVS versions of my
source files in another, and just check out/commit in place, without
all the extra copying?

Happy to RTFM if someone can help me find it. Thanks for any advice,

OK
DAH
