Hi,
I would like to use an external cvs client to check in and check out
files in my project. But I wan't to use the eclipse comparision editor for
cvs and also sometimes to check in and check out files. How can I make
eclipse recognise the cvs information written by the external cvs client?

thanks,
Simon PG

Simon,

You should be able to just perform a Team/Share on the project and it
will get mapped to CVS in Eclipse. The one caveat is that Eclipse does
not support the local connection method so you'll need to use ether ext
or pserver. If your using ext, you may want to configure ext to use the
internal Eclipse SSH connection method (extssh). This can be done on the
Team>CVS>EXT Connection Method preference page.

You would like to use :ext: method or :pserver: as this gives you the
integration with the external cvs client.
You would like to see in Preferences->Team->CVS->Automatically share
projects containing CVS meta information and be sure it is checked. The
Eclipse will automatically use the already present information from the
CVS directories.
Eclipse 3.2M5 here, I'm not sure is this is present before 3.2.

Hi Michael,
The Team/Share is not working. It asks for a module name in cvs to
map the project folder (project root) to and commits the entire contents of
the project to that module. But I do not wan't the whole project mapped,
just some of the source folders.

thanks,
Simon PG

Hi Danail,
I am using the :pserver: method. The automatically share feature
is present in 3.1.2 too, but I do not know how it works. I have it checked
but on right clicking a file or folder in the project which as cvs
information, it does not show up any Team menu options to commit, update
etc.

I tried 3.2M5 too but same thing there also.

Am I missing some setting?

thanks,
Simon PG

That's not quite the original question, but the way that Eclipse works is to share a project by default if you right-click on a project. I don't believe that it's possible to share a subset of the folders, since you have to enable team-sharing for a project-wide system.

Of course, you could always create a subproject for the stuff that you do want to share, which might be an easier way to achieve what you want to do.

Eclipse needs to have CVS information in all the folders in the path leading
up to actual folder in question. I created dummy CVS information in all the
folders and it works.

The content of the CVS/Repository file should be

CVSROOT/Emptydir

The contents of CVS/Entries and CVS/Root files are the usual.
