all mount to our local boxes. Has there eer been any thought to adding a
local CVS option to the CVS support in Eclipse? Is there any way I can
use Eclipse's CVS support without having the use extssh to ssh into
localhost? Our lab admin is against the idea of setting up pserver access
b/c he doesn't want to administer it as well as all the other stuff he has
to deal with.

So you guys each want your own local "view" of the CVS repository, working
on it locally without updating the main branch until you are ready, is that
correct?
Just started working with ClearCase and it's too bad CVS and SubVersion
don't support the ability to work on separate branches away from the main
branch the way ClearCase does..or I could be wrong. But ClearCase supports
the ability for one or more developers to have a view into a branch they
make off of the main branch. They commit to their own dev branch, then when
ready, deliver their changes to the branched version (not the main branch).
Other devs using that same branch line can "rebase" as they call it to get
others updates. They then run integration tests, etc, then update the same
dev branch. When everyone is happy, that branch can then be delievered back
into the main stream. It's an interesting concept. What is really nice is
that like Subversion, Clearcase can handle moves with history intact, so
refactoring and such works. Still have no clue why CVS doesn't handle this.

I don't know of a versioning system that doesn't allow branching, and
that includes CVS and SubVersion. Maybe
the ClearCase salesman told you that :)

CVS doesn't have a command to move a file and keep history. ClearCase
and Subsversion do, so do many other free and commercial versioning
systems.

I wouldn't say never because it is an open source project and someone
may come up with a way to get it to work. However, it is unlikely,
especially given that most people can happily get by using pserver,
extssh or ext. What connection methods do you HAVE to use? Also, you may
want to look at bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=41097
which provides a CVSNT specific connection method.

Hi all,
I did set up Eclipse 3.0 to work with a local(non-client/server) CVS on
a Windows machine even though it is a bit tricky.
my situation:
I have two PCs running WinXP (let's call them PC_A and PC_B). PC_B has a
cvs created with a command line tool. I am working on PC_A and want to
use that cvs in Eclipse without having to install a cvs server on PC_B.
Then I did the following steps:
1. map the cvs directory from PC_B to a drive on PC_A (Drive J)
2. installed cygwin cvs as command line tool on PC_A
3. set the CVSROOT environment param as system environment param on PC_A
to the mapped drive (CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/j), so it is present in
all cmd shells
4. Eclipse: In "Preferences->Team->CVS->Ext Connection Method" I entered
the following values in the proper fields:
- CVS_RSH: cmd.exe
- Parameters: /c
- CVS_SERVER: cvs
5. Then I created a new repository location and entered the following
values for the proper fields:
- Host: local
- Repository Path: /cygdrive/j
- User: <user name for PC_B>
- Password: <password for PC_B>
- Connection Type: ext
So what I did was just forwarding the cvs commands to the Windows cmd
shell. It works perfectly now, and if you adapt the Root files in your
local directories you can even put an existing CVS project under Eclipse
CVS control. But the best would be just to check out the whole module again.
Hope that helps.
