I'm not sure of how you are useing/accessing CVS or your operating system.
I would think you could do "test" check out from a command window. Once you have a command line you know works from the command window, you should be able to implement the same command from Ant. I do something similar to the following: <property name="repository" value=":pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:c:/cvs/repository/repository.name"/> <property name="project.version" value="tag.name"/> <cvs cvsroot="${repository}" command="checkout" package="package.name" tag="${project.version}" dest="${build.source.dir}"/> You can skip the tag/project.version if you just want the latest from head. Also note that a password is not required in my case since I log into CVS in advance. This could be done via command line or via Eclipse or whatever. Connecting with rsh or ssh is different and needs to be configured in CVS. Again, I think your best bet is to work out your command line from a command window. Once you have that and know what what works, it should be pretty straight forward migrating that to Ant.

I do not have access to change this myself. Here's the code. <target name="checkout"> <cvspass cvsroot=":extssh:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot" password="password"/> <cvs command="checkout" package="TestCVS" append="false" cvsroot="/usr/local/cvsroot" dest="c:/temp"/> </target> Thanks for the help. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
