Making AccuRev the Version Control Provider for an Existing IDE Project

You might want to use AccuRev selectively, for some new projects but not others. Or you might have existing projects to be used with AccuRev. This procedure handles both of these cases:

Arrange for the project files to be located within an existing AccuRev workspace, in either of these ways:
- Move all the project files from their current location to a location within an existing AccuRev workspace.
- Use the AccuRev GUI to convert the project’s current disk location, or a higher-level directory, into a new AccuRev workspace (File > New > Workspace command).
In either case, the project’s root directory need not be the top-level directory of the workspace.
Open the project in IntelliJ IDEA .
Click File > Settings from the IntelliJ IDEA main menu.
Expand the Version Control node.
In the Version Control list, select AccuRev.
If you moved data into an existing workspace or created a new workspace, as outlined in Step 1, you must place the project’s files under version control. See Converting external-Status Files to Version-Controlled Elements.
