           Summary: incomplete documentation concerning CVS task
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.5
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/m
                    sg22814.html
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: brunodenys@gmail.com


The documentation on the CVS task
(http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html) says that cvs.exe must be on
the PATH.  As reported by another user (see
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg22814.html) and as I
have experienced, this is not sufficient.  The cvs.exe from tortoiseCVS (at
least for some versions of tortoiseCVS), even if it is on the PATH, also
produces an error 2.

I suggest to update the documentation at
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html (mention that not all cvs.exe
are appreciated by the CVS task).

Looks like tortoise uses cvsnt which is not
currently supported by ant -
see bug: 31409.

A patch is provided with the bug, but
has not been applied yet. Supporting
cvs via the command line has always caused
problems for ant - see the large number
of bug reports, so I assume that no
committer has tried the patch.

I did try, but cvsnt caused my company cvs server
to crash - so I did not proceed with the expermient.
