If you’ve ever had to move your Java projects around and at the same time, need to sync to a CVS, you’ll know that having the CVS folders in the subdirectories of your project can really cause havoc. Here’s a simple way of removing them in Eclipse (sorry to other IDE users, I’m pro Eclipse ;)):
- Right click on the project
- Go to Team –> Disconnect
- When prompted, choose to delete the CVS meta data
I wish I had known about this earlier. Then I wouldn’t have resorted to writing a recursive directory-deleting util to remove them ![]()
