CVS task

["Baldry, Scot M" <Sc...@gs.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to setup the CVS task in ANT and am a little confused about a
few things. When I add the following to my build.xml:

    <!-- Update the source in the current package -->
    <target name="update" description="Update the current package to
repository head">
      <cvs
cvsRoot=":pserver:baldrs@myserver.mycompany.com:/home/cvshome/CVSROOT"
           package="src/com/locate}" 
           dest="."
      />
    </target>

I get the following error:

        at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Win32Process.<init>(Win32Process.java:66)

I thought that ANT was a full blown CVS client (in the same way that jCVS is
a full client)? Do I need to have a regular UNIX/DOS cvs client installed to
use this ANT extension (I presume this is what the failed to create process
relates to).

No, it's just a thin layer over command line CVS.

Yes.
