Open

If shown, opens the selected component in the appropriate NetBeans editor. Click the Refresh All icon or select Tools > CAPS Repository > Refresh All before you open any Project component (such as a Collaboration) to ensure that you open the latest version of the component.

ACL Management

Presents the ACL Properties dialog, with which an Administrator can assign read/write privileges to users for the selected component.

Version Control

Version History

Presents a dialog with which you can track the version history for the selected component. The version history for a component that has been cut and pasted is preserved, since there can be only one instance of it. The version history for a component that has been copied and pasted is not preserved, since there can be multiple instances of it; the version number for each pasted instance is reset.

Check In

Presents a dialog with which you can check in a new version of the selected component.

Check Out

Presents a dialog with which you can check out the current version of the selected component.

Undo Check Out

Presents a dialog with which you can reverse the last checkout of the selected component.

Make Latest

Presents a dialog with which you can check in the retrieved version of the selected component, making it the latest version.

Tag

Presents a dialog with which you can specify a tag to attach to the selected component.

Cut

Copies the selected component and removes it from the current Project, after which you can paste it to another Project within the same branch (once only). All changes must be committed before you can cut the component. Cut and paste is disabled for other users when you have the component checked out.

Copy

Copies the selected component, after which you can paste it to other Projects within the same branch (multiple times). All changes must be committed before you can copy the component. You can copy and paste a component even when another user has the component checked out. If a component is copied and pasted back into the original Project, the name is automatically modified with a suffix (_1); in the case of multiple pastes, the suffix is incremented by 1 for each subsequent paste.

Delete

Deletes the selected component, subject to the following conditions:

• You have write privileges for the component (see ACL Management, above).

• You have the component checked out to your workspace.

• The component is not checked out by anyone other than yourself.

  If these conditions are met, a dialog is presented in which you confirm that you want to delete the selected component. Clicking Yes then deletes the component.

Rename

Activates the field, allowing you to rename the selected component.

Note that all Project component names should contain only alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers), dashes, and underscores. Blank spaces are not allowed.

Properties

Presents a dialog showing the configuration properties of the selected component, if such properties exist.
