I setup a fairly recent version of cvsnt and the latest version of Eclipse and it is a big pile of doggy !@#$. Don't do it! Just bag the integration with Eclipse and use either Tortois or WinCvs. Also, Eclipse is not very easy to setup with anything other than PSERVER, I was able to get the SSPI ext cvsnt working but I needed it to work outside the domain which at that point, you might as well use Tortoise or WinCvs. (my opinion) Steve >From: Mike Wake <mike.wake at thales-tts.com> >To: "Johnson, Mark " <Mark.Johnson2 at ingenix.com> >CC: Mark home <amarkjohnson at comcast.net>,"'cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook'" ><cvsnt at cvsnt.org cvsnt downloads at march-hare.com @CVSNT on Twitter CVSNT on Facebook> >Subject: Re: [cvsnt] CVSNT with non wincvs client >Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 19:10:21 +0100 > >Heya Mark, > >Take a look at http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/CvsntAdvantages. >CVSNT blows vanilla cvs away. > >Tortoise is designed for and infact uses cvsnt as its client.
