java-programmer, CVS checkout doesn't work in Eclipse v3.0.1 Hi,
Since the CVS functionality of NetBeans doesn't appear to work for
me, I'm trying Eclipse. However, the CVS functionality of Eclipse
doesn't appear to work either. When I try to do a CVS checkout in
Eclipse, a "project" does get created in my workspace, but the
contents of the CVS modules aren't actually in the project. Now, the
contents of the module are only directories to this point, because I
was looking to work on the module with Eclipse. Should this be a
problem? Should I add a least one file to the project before Eclipse
will properly checkout the module with all its subdirectories?

Thanks,

Jason

What implementation of the CVS server are you using? If you're using the
WinNT binaries, make sure you specify the whole repository path
(including drive name and all folders, e.g "C:\my\repository") on both
server and client,and not use a relative path. I'm not sure if this is
still a problem in Eclipse 3.x, but it fixed the problems I had when
using the WinNT version of CVS with Eclipse 2.x
