cvs add and added independently by second party [message #210368]

I added some files to a cvs server without using Eclipse.
Now I want to use Eclipse to manage the cvs system: I shared the project,
but it seems that the files aren't on the cvs server (Eclipse shows them as
new files). So I tried to add them to the cvs server but I get "cvs add:
file xxx added independently by second party" (which makes sense since the
files are already there).

What should I do?

So, do I get you right that there already was a collection of your
sources in the CVS? And that you made them CVS-monitored in Eclipse by
sharing them?!

Cause if you did it that way, then you most likely have two version of
the sources in the CVS or something else not very nice. I'd delete your
local project (first close) and then go into the CVS Repository View
then do "Check out As...", at least that is what I always do...

I found the way to do that: reading "Project checked out with another CVS
tool"
from the help I simply checked out using the other tool and now
Eclipse sees those files as already under cvs BUT, although the files are
identical
(I checked out from the server), it shows them as they have some changes
and the only option I have is to commit, but the Java source compare doesn't
show any difference. What am I doing wrong?

You can always just choose the files/directory and choose "Override and
Update" from the popup menu. That will throw away your local copies and
download whatever is in the repository.
