Prasad, most "unix/linux" based enviorments already have cvs, thats
probably why it was overlooked. But yes, CVS is a requirement as you
will be unable to checkout openejb/tranql from their respecitive cvs
repositories. You don't really need the heavyweight cygwyn, All you
really need is CVSNT. Which you can install from WinCVS as an
independent install.

Hi,
In my first attempt to download the Geronimo source tree and compile
it, I followed the instructions on the Build documentation page of the
wiki site (http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/Building

$ maven m:fresh-checkout

I had to install CVS to go beyond this step. I noticed that the
Eclipse documentation page of the wiki site
(http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/EclipseDeployment
<http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/EclipseDeployment>) has that info in
Step 1.
1. So is CVS a hard prerequisite to be downloaded before building
Geronimo from source ?
2. Would it be okay if I uploaded the wiki page with that info ?
Cheers
Prasad
