CVS techniques?

[Eric Ladner <er...@gmail.com>]

What's the CVS-ism to check out the latest development branch of POI? 
I've been watching the tree for a while and there haven't been many
updates in the last couple of months, so I'm wondering if I'm maybe
checking out the stable branch instead of the development branch.  I
tried '-r HEAD' and that didn't produce any results, I don't think.

Thanks,

Eric 'CVS newbie' Ladner

P.S.  Slightly off topic:  I wonder why somebody hasn't written a Java
CVS-like system that integrates well with ANT?

Login with:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login
password: anoncvs

then:


cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout jakarta-poi


There's a branch called REL_2_BRANCH but that's probably not going to see 
any more activity.
Happy POIing.
