JRCS is a library that knows how to manipulate the archive files
produced by the RCS and CVS version control systems. JRCS is not
intended to replace neither tool. JRCS was written to be able
create archive analysis tools that can do things like identify
hot spots in the source code, measure the contributions by each
developer, o assess how bugs make it in.
The reasons why JRCS has the ability do do check-ins and save
archives is API symmetry, and to simplify the writing of unit
tests.
The {@link org.apache.commons.jrcs.diff diff} package implements
the differencing engine that JRCS uses. The engine has the power
of Unix diff, is simple to understand, and can be used
independently of the archive handling functionality. The entry
point to the differencing engine is class {@link
org.apache.commons.jrcs.diff.Diff Diff}.
The {@link org.apache.commons.jrcs.rcs rcs} package implements th8e
archive handling functionality. The entry point to the library is
class {@link org.apache.commons.jrcs.rcs.Archive Archive}.
CAVEAT UTILITOR: Do not make modifications to your
archives with JRCS. There needs to be an important amount of
additional testing before it's safe to do that.
