Aaron, Thanks for the reply. I had WinCVS installed and used it to get the files onto my machine. When I imported the project defs and their files into Eclipse the troubles began. Eclipse won't compile the files for some reason that I'm looking into. If I get that straightened out I'll definitely follow your advice!
You may try checking the the files out with Eclipse first then. Maybe WinCVS and Eclipse are not playing well - though I cannot imagine why. I use Eclipse a lot and have never seen this problem. I usually only use other tools to analyze history in the repository. --- Aaron Bono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
