The CVS Edit command is a mechanism to control who is editing files. The CVS Edit command provides the ability to prevent other users to edit the same file at the same time.
Note
You should not manually change JRules repository files from read-only to read-write while using the CVS plug-in. If you uninstall the Locking plug-in this temptation is removed.

CVS Edit makes the files read-write, and establishes a temporary watch for the user on files; CVS will remove the watch when files are unedited or committed.

Normally when you are finished with a set of changes, you use the CVS Commit command, which checks in your changes and returns the watched files to their usual read-only state. But if you decide to abandon your changes instead, or not to make any changes, you can use the CVS Unedit command.

The CVS Edit command enables you to edit the files managed by CVS.
