Development Environment

In order to complete the projects for this course you will be using an integrated software development tool (or IDE) called Eclipse. If you are planning on working from your own PC, you must visit the following link and follow the instructions there on how to setup the Eclipse environment so that it works for our class.

Click here for a screenshot of the CVS Connection Dialog Box for this semester.

You can cut and paste the following lines into the dialog box:

  • Host:
    linuxlab.csic.umd.edu

  • Repository Path:
    /afs/csic.umd.edu/users/egolub/cvs433Spring2013/cs433XXX
    (Replace "cs433XXX" with your personal login ID that you got from the grades.cs.umd.edu server.)
NOTE for Mac users:

While connecting to the CVS repository you may get a message indicating you cannot connect to linuxlab.cs.umd.edu. If that is the case, try the following:

1. Open a Mac terminal window (Applications-->Utilities-->Terminal)
2. In the window type:

ssh -l YOUR_LINUXLAB_ACCOUNT_ID linuxlab.cs.umd.edu

Notice -l is - followed by lowercase letter L

3. Enter the linuxlab account password

This should fix the problem. You can exit the ssh session by typing exit in the Mac window.
