I just did a cvs update -d but I don't see a project.xml... Netbeans
does a decent job of integrating with an existing ant-based project,
on my machine I just used the wizard and then added a new target for
debugging purposes.
I think NetBeans puts it in a "nbproject" subdir, which is in CVS now. If you check it out directly from NetBeans, I think it may just work.
I'm not that familiar with patch formats, how would I generate a
unified diff - would command line cvs work ?
Yes, cvs diff -u will work fine. And while you're at it, ask the NetBeans guys why they don't generate a unified diff patch in the first place :) NetBeans is looking pretty usable now, but that seems like a goofy thing to not support. One of these days I should go through a day of working in NetBeans and record everything that seems unintuitive. Perhaps it would help.
