Development repository

You can use any repository supported by Eclipse with WebSphere Message Broker. Many repositories provide features such as version control and access control of files, and make it easier for teams to work on shared resources.

You can take the version numbers of these artefacts out of the repository, and associate that version number with the message flows and message sets when they are deployed. This allows you to display which version of the flow is deployed in the workbench. An alternative method of assigning a version number to a message flow is to specify one in the workbench when the message flow is created, see Message flow version and keywords.

Because the Message Brokers Toolkit is based on the Eclipse platform, you can access Eclipse-supported repositories directly from the Message Brokers Toolkit.

Configuring CVS to run with the Message Brokers Toolkit describes how you set up the Message Brokers Toolkit to run with CVS. For more information about other repositories, refer to the section "Repository Providers" in the Eclipse developer community.
