Class ExpandModulesRequest

java.lang.Object

org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.request.Request

org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.request.ExpandModulesRequest

public class ExpandModulesRequest
extends Request

Sends the expand-modules request. This request expands the modules which have been specified in previous argument requests. The server can assume this is a checkout or export.
Expand is not the best word for what this request does. It does not expand a module in any meaningful way. What it does is ask the server to tell you which working directories the server needs to know about in order to handle a checkout of a specific module. This is important where you have aliased modules. If you alias module foo as bar, then you need to know when you do a checkout of foo that bar on disk is an existing checkout of the module.
