I am new to CVS, and as
far I as know, CVS does not have a file-lock facility (I am using MyEclipse 4.1),

Correct. CVS == Concurrent Versioning System, it’s intended to be used in environments where everyone is hacking away at the code at the same time.

Is there any way to acomplish simple file-sharing for a centralised Eclipse
project? with proper locking of course. I want to enable small teams of
developers to work on the same Eclipse projects, but with file locks.

Not with CVS, but there a lot of other source control systems out there you might want to look into. Off the top of my head I’m not sure of one that fits your needs, but then again I’ve never needed anything other than CVS or Subversion.

thanks for the reply
please if its possible that you provide me with some tools for managing developing between team members and it will be butter it they are open source or free tools
thanks

casberman,
Are you sure you need locking? Are the devs going to be working on the same files, in the same areas, at the same time? CVS and Subversion can handle most merging of changes automatically, it’s only when line-conflicts occur that you have problems.

thanks for your reply
yes i really need to make locking on the files because most of the time the developers use the same resources and edit it, so i get two modified versions of my source files and i west alot of time tuning the source code. so i need to apply locking on the files so that no one can work on a file without locking it.
so what are the available tools to do that, and it will be butter to be free tools
thanks

I am not aware of a free tool that supports locking that does this. The only ones I know that do this are ClearCase (I think?) and Microsoft Visual Source Safe, neither of them free.
