I'm new to Eclipse and trying to follow the tutorials in the O'Reilly
"Eclipse" book by Steve Holzner. Everything was going nicely until the
CVS section. This is on Eclipse 2.1.3.
I created a simple project (one Java class) and checked it in by right
clicking on the project in Package Explorer and then selecting
Team->Commit. Everything appeared to work and there were no error
messages in the CVS console view. Looking at the CVS directory directly,
I see all the files, so they ARE there.
Then I switched to the CVS Repositories view, where I see the repository
with Head, Branches and Versions. This is where things blow up. Clicking
on any of those three produces and error dialog box that says "Folder does
not exist remotely." In theory, I'm suppose to see the project I checked
in. I've tried this lots of different ways, including checking-in and
committing only a single file, with the same result.
Anyone?
PS - I'd love to deep-six CVS for Visual SourceSafe, which holds
everything else I've ever done. Is there a connector yet? I did a search
but came up empy handed.

Carl,
There is a VSS plugin available from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin.
As for you repository browsing problems, it may be related to the CVS
server version. What is your server version? Eclipse supports 1.11.1p1
or later and Eclipse 2.1.3 may have issues with any of the 1.12.* versions.

This was not a decision by the Eclipse developers. Eclipse will connect
with any CVS server that behaves like a standard CVS server. CVSNT is a
forked project and has, at times, done things it's own way which has led
to incompatibilities.

Eclipse does indeed support drive letters. You do not need to use
repository prefixes. However, your path case must match what CVSNT sends
in text messages. I believe this means that the drive letter must be
capitalized. Given the complexity of windows path casing (or lack
thereof) it is probably better to use prefixes (see below).

A repository prefix is simply the first part of your repository path
that you wish to leave off the connection paths. For instance, if your
repo path is C:\repos\production-repo, you can specify a prefix of
C:\repos and connect using a repository path of /production-repo. You
can configure your repository path using the CVSNT control panel. If you
want to use a prefix with Eclipse, you must also set the CVSNT server to
"pretend to be a Unix server" which is available on the advanced tab of
the control panel.
