I've been poking around with Eclipse, CVS using sourceforge and looking at
the project directories under Eclipse.
I tried to use the integrated CVS (I'm on Windows XP) and it keeps trying to
add CVSROOT onto the end of the path yielding /CVSROOT/PROJECTNAME/CVSROOT
and saying that it doesn't exist on the server. I am confused about this
since TortoiseCVS just takes /CVSROOT/PROJECTNAME/ and is happy with it.
Then I was thinking that perhaps I can just use TortoiseCVS - ignoring the
CVS support in Eclipse) and commit the right .metadata files, but which ones
are they? I figure it would be silly to put all of the information under
there - yielding a complete copy of my desktop who whoever downloaded the
source code - but when I try to selectively delete things it loses the
entire project (!), even though the main project (.project and the other one
I left intact) definitions are intact.
I'm wondering if Eclipse and some of the plugins serializes important
objects (as binary) to the metadata folder which I can never hope to be able
to read or modify ?
What files should I commit? How would I commit so that just the needed files
are committed?
What's the best way of handling this?
In particular I am trying to use cvs.sourceforge.net and I am using the SSH
connection (Authenticated, not anonymous).
Thanks!

Hi,

Actually you download CVSROOT when you want to change something in the
server's configuration, as the CVS server cleverly stores its
configuration in the repository (under the CVSROOT root).
However, I'm afraid I can't help the original poster. Maybe he
setup /CVSROOT/PROJECTNAME as part of the CVS repository hostname, thus
causing the client to access the CVSROOT project through
the /CVSROOT/PROJECTNAME/CVSROOT path, but this is just a wild guess.
Just in case, check your repository settings on Eclipse and make sure
that your hostname is localhost, CVSHOSTNAME, and IP address or whatever
is appropriate, but excluding any path name.

What are your settings for the CVS Repository Location that you have set
up in Eclipse?
Eclipse's CVS client is rock-solid and the best I've used by far
(including Tortoise, which I consider the next best, but not close). You
are going to have a MUCH easier time if you can configure Eclipse CVS
correctly, rather than trying to use an external tool and keep both it
and Eclipse happy.
Post your settings - I'm sure someone here can help figure out what is
wrong.
HTH,
Eric
