Use Java based CVS library instead of command line executable

[Eric Pugh <ep...@upstate.com>]

Hi all,

Something that I find quite annoying is that every box that I want to
generate the various CVS related reports, I need to have the cvs commandline
tool installed.  Since I am an Eclipse user, I don't typically have the
command line client available.  Anyone done any work on supplying a java cvs
library to
be used instead?

I looked at http://javacvs.netbeans.org/ however it seems like pretty old,
and another one at http://www.jcvs.org/.  I would like to at least take a
look at what is required.  I was hoping the SCM plugin would have what I
needed, but it as well uses cvs executable.

I once tried to take a look at Java solutions and finally gave up and
decided I could live with the CLI tool being required. I've only looked
at jcvs and honestly the code is really hard to follow and you pretty
much need to look at the GUI client to figure out how it works.

What about the Eclipse CVS code? Does it do everything from Java?

P.S. Get your mail client to use the reply-to. Everytime I respond to
you I sent things directly to you instead of the list.
