Step 1: Version Control System Choice

Okay, so I am actually going to start (one month later than planned). Before finding a place to host the project, I am going to store the source locally.

First step for me (usually) is to create my project structure and check it into CVS. But since CVS seems to have outgrown it's usefulness (much like struts in the web MVC world), I am going to use Subversion (which i have used on a project recently - but as a client).

I am going to do most of my development on Windows (for various reasons). Installing Subversion onto a windows server is my next activity. I hope subversion behaves better on Windows than CVS does.

BTW: I am using the book: "Java Power Tools" from O'Reilly to evaluate all the tools for building my project. This one seems a no-brainer (famous last words).

I will install in the next day or so and report back.
