How to createa a new CVS Project in Eclipse [message #60253]

Everytime I try to share a "new" project with eclipse I receive the error
message:

The server reported an error while performing the "cvs update" command.
"PROJECT": cvs server: cannot open directory
C:/Apps/CVS/ROOT/PROJECT: No such file or directory
"PROJECT": cvs server: cannot find module `PROJECT' - ignored

Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to create the project in eclipse
without first having to create the project in cvs?

Are you perhaps updating rather than commiting?

The sequence to follow is right click on the project, select "team"/"share
project", choose a repository, choose a module name, press finish. Then
perform an "team"/"commit" to actually store the files.

Is that what you did? Or did you create the project in CVS using another
tool? That isn't normally required.

The sequence of steps I followed was:
1) Create a new project in eclipse
2) Team/Share Project
3) Choose repository and module
4) Clicked finish and thats when I received the errors listed below.

Is it perhaps some configuration setting with cvs that is preventing me to
do this?

Hi Jeremy -

Are you using CVSNT? I had a problem like this when I tried it. The
workaround I found was to create the CVS module directory manually then
share the project again in Eclipse. Eclipse will tell you that the
project already exists and ask if you want to synchronize with the
existing project, answer yes and select HEAD as the branch to
synchronize with. Should be hunky dory from there.

It bears mentioning that CVSNT is not officially supportedby Eclipse
however, and while it seemed to work OK for me in limited testing, you
might be better off using Cygwin if you must use Windows. It's harder to
set up initially, (basically it's a Unix emulation layer for Windows)
but probably worth it if you're doing serious development.
