Integration with CVS

New Project

• In the menu File -> New Project...
• Choose General and Java Application and click on Next

New Java Application

• choose as project name Weka
• choose a folder where the project should be created, e.g., C:\Temp
• uncheck Create Main Class

Checkout from CVS

• In the menu Versioning -> CVS -> Checkout...
• The dialog informing you about the CVS functionality can be ignored (if it is annoying, just check Do not show this dialog again), proceed by clicking on Check Out...
• Enter the following information:

Working Directory	C:\Temp\Weka\src
CVS Server Type	pserver
CVS Server Name	cvs.scms.waikato.ac.nz
Port	2401
User Name	cvs_anon
Repository Path	/usr/local/global-cvs/ml_cvs
Password	(no password needed)
Module(s)	weka

This is what the dialog should look like:

• click on OK for downloading the sources

Set Main Class

• In the menu File -> "Weka" Properties...
• Go to Run in the tree and enter weka.gui.GUIChooser as the main class
• optionally, add the JVM heap size, e.g., -Xmx800m as VM Options

Using weka-src.jar

Project Setup

• Follow the above instructions, but don't checkout from the CVS

Extract Sources

• Extract the sources from weka-src.jar with any ZIP-handling program into C:\Temp\Weka\src

Set Main Class

• See above

Troubleshooting

• Could not read password for host: java.io.FileNotFoundException: [...]\.cvspass
  NetBeans seems to have problems creating the .cvspass file in ones home directory. It is possible to fix this behavior by checking out Weka with a normal CVS client. See also this post (https://list.scms.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/htdig/wekalist/2006-September/007989.html) on the Wekalist.
