The guys at [EMAIL PROTECTED] helped me, so I'll achieve closure and
answer my own question.
I was unaware that CVS ignores identical files automatically. With this
knowledge, it should be easy to use the Ant and the Ant CVS task (
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html ) to automate the
checkout/run jalopy/checkin process.

Hi,
This may be a bit off topic, but maybe someone can help.
I am looking for a way to automate a CVS checkout/checkin process.
Also, on the checkin, I don't want to check in any files that have
identical contents to the repository version - even if they have been
saved with a new timestamp. This would be like checking the Comparing
Content option in the Eclipse CVS Synchronize view.
The reason I want to do this is that I use a tool (Jalopy) to
automatically format my source code to comply with coding standards.
However, Jalopy re-saves the file with a new timestamp even if it did
not change anything. So, I want to avoid commits of files with
identical contents cluttering the CVS revision history.
Right now, I do this manually before each checkin, which was OK.
However, the latest Eclipse release (3.0 M5) apparently breaks Jalopy,
and the Jalopy developer has abandoned the open-source version and is
going commercial, so no hope for a fix soon. So, to work around this
and also eliminate the manual step at the same time, I want to automate
the whole process for my entire project.
Any alternate solutions are also very welcome.
Thanks,
Chad
