Version Controlling Build Forge projects?

Hello,

Anyone have any good idea how can I version control my Build Forge projects? We are doing pretty intensive development of Build Forge projects with multiple team members and we are facing version control issues, ie regression of steps commands, new steps added to project/libraries unintentionally by other Build Forge developers.

Can we use the Build Forge eclipse plugin and leverage on the Eclipse IDE to use a proper SCM tool like ClearCase?

Hi,

There are a couple of options. You could use the '.export' dot command as one of the last steps of a project to export the project and in the following step check the project XML into a version control system. Another option would be to use the 'Snapshot' feature that was introduced in v7.1.
