Hi,

I've got eclipse 3.0.1 on my machine and CVS 1.10 set up on another. I
can check in an check out files from cvs, but when I use the "Compare With
> Latest from Head" in the Java perspective or "Open in Compare Editor" in
the Team Synchronization perspective, I get an error ("The server reported
an error while performing the "cvs update" command") with no additional
details.

I know I'm authenticating properly because I can do other cvs commands
through eclipse. So, what is my problem here?

Many Thanks,
-C

You definitely do not have permissions for update on the CVS server.
(Dunno why compare requires update.:)

I can do a cvs update using WinCVS or when I am remotely logged into the
server, so I don't think the server is the issue. Are there permissions
in eclipse that I'm not aware of that could affect this? I would expect
that since I can add files and commit changes that I should be able to
update as well.

Thanks,

So, you can update/commit from Eclipse?

Are user/protocol in Eclipse the same as in WinCVS?
Can you 'ls -l' your cvsroot to see actual permissions?

Yes, update and commit work just fine. It's just the compare features
that give the, oddly worded, "The server reported an error while
performing the "cvs update" command" error.

Yes, both use the same user and pserver protocol.

drwxrwxr-x 37 Admin cvs 1258 17 Feb 08:59 CVSROOT
My user should be in the proper group.

Is it possible this is a version conflict somewhere? I have eclipse 3.0.1
and I believe the cvs version is 1.10.
