You would need liscenses for any of the os' you put on your system that require them. Now correct me if I am wrong, but when you are rtunnign vmware, your are creating multiple concurrently running virtual machines...
The way they would be interfaced would be via their respective ip addresses The best way to prevent having to build from the groud up is once you have your system built with everything installed, ghost it (or some similar backup software) so that if that ever happens again...all you have to do is restore it. You could even go as far as createing a ghost image on a regular basis so that you have a current image of your machine to restore back to. As far as how VMWare is set up(I have never set it up before, so I am guessing here)...I am assuming you are generally a windows user and your desktop has XP on it and your production environment is some flavor of linux or unix. What you would do is once you set up vmware, I would assume that the underlying OS is still there, so that would be what you would use. Then you have a VMWare instance running linux. This instance has an ip address assigned to it. In your hosts file, you set up dev.faircloth.com to that local ip that was assigned to the VmWare instance and that would be how you access it. As far as subversion is concerned...that should just be a checked out version of the repository and SVN would look at it as just another computer. I would look at the VMWare instance as more of a test site and windows as the dev site. You would develop locally(you could have a copy of CF on your windows instance or just upload to to the linux instanmce to test) and then upload to the test box. You would test what you just developed on the VMWare instance since that mirrors, including OS, your production site and environment.

I'm very interested in the VMWare approach to testing Subverison, Eclipse, CFEclipse, etc. However, after looking over the selections in the Virtual Appliance Marketplace on vmware.com, I don't see anything that fits what I'm looking for. I've never used VMWare before and I'm trying to be careful about what I do to my development workstation. I'd like to start keeping all my "trial software" running in a VM that I can delete at any time without affecting my current development setup. I get very worried that something with which I'm unfamiliar is going to render my workstation useless. I just re-installed my system from the ground up twice due to hard drive failures and I don't want anything happening to my system again. >From looking at the description of the appliances, I guess it's always going to be true for the free appliances, that the OS involved will be of the open source, free variety, such as Ubuntu, etc.? It seems it would have to be to keep it free? Correct? If that's the case, how would I set up a VM that mirrors my current production environment, but with the add-ons of Eclipse, CFEclipse, Subversion, etc.? Seems I would need a separate Win XP license, then a copy of CF8 Developer's edition, at a minimum. Am I missing something or looking at this the wrong way? Suggestions? Advice?

But if for some reason you do find it hard or would like to cut through the setup time for doing SVN, Trac, CruiseControl and any other tools you need to setup. I would recommend looking at the Virtual Application Marketplace at Vmware (http://www.vmware.com/appliances/) which has server images where people have set all this up for you. You simply just download and run the image locally.

J W wrote: > I am looking to have better version control at our company and am > wonder how YOU deal with this. What is your setup? Local development against a local CF and local resources. Full working copy of a SVN repository. Code gets tagged in the repo and then a build server will use an Ant script to pull in drivers, externals and configuration files and generate several EAR files, both a compiled and a source version for each CF version supported. Source versions go to the test environment and when approved the compiled version goes to the staging environment where the customer will approve it for final deployment. I second the recommendation for SVN as a centralized versioning system but you shouldn't pay too much attention to all the people claiming it is hard to set up. It may be tedious when you do it for the first time, but not hard, you just have to follow the manual. And be warned about all the blogs and wiki's too: I'm sure their authors write them with the best intentions, but few of them add something that is not in the manual, most of them are outdated and none of them cover important issues such as the proper way to secure and backup your repository. And don't even think about using that one-click installer, version 1.2.3 is ancient and binary incompatible with the current versions.
