This is the Reference Implementation (RI) User's Guide for the 1.1 maintenance release of the JSR-147 Workspace Versioning and Configuration Management (WVCM) API . The Java source code has already been compiled and the resulting class files archived into a "wvcm_ri.jar" file. Javadoc documentation has been generated for it, located at "dist/docs"; this page you are now reading is the Overview document for that generated Javadoc.

This project depends on the javax.wvcm project. For details on how to load the project into Eclipse and/or recompile the sources and the Javadoc, read below.

Setup

Since this project depends on the javax.wvcm project, setup that project first; the instructions to do so are located inside of that project in the Setup section of its overview page. The setup for that project will do most of what's necessary to get this RI project set up.

Once you have set up and compiled the jsr147 project, either with Eclipse or with Ant (or with both), repeat the steps you did for jsr147 but with the following differences:

What Next?

You may use the RI to see how it functions as a WVCM implementation. Review its sources, and use them as a guide for functionality to write for your own WVCM implementation. Load the com.ibm.rational.wvcm.tck project and invoke the TCK against the RI.
