I realize this may be an Eclipse issue (they said it wasn't....) but perhaps someone here can help me with this. I'm trying to use CVS from within Eclipse 3.xx .

I can also check out files via WinCVS using the same login credentials and connection path. The person who put the files into CVS says he didn't make them read-only. The connection seems to be breaking within Eclipse. I'm a programmer and not an expert in these things and the SysAdmins have all left for the weekend. If anyone has had this problem I'd really appreciate the help!
If you are in a real pinch, I would use TortoiseCVS ( http://www.tortoisecvs.org/ ) or WinCVS to do your check in/out and then Eclipse to do the editing. Just check the project out to your workspace, open the project and do a refresh whenever you work outside Eclipse. I'm not sure what Eclipse is doing different from WinCVS. -- ================================================================== Aaron Bono Aranya Software Technologies, Inc. http://www.aranya.com http://codeelixir.com ==================================================================
