[news.eclipse.tools] Re: M4 - problem connecting to a local cvs reposito

["Horváth, Csaba" <hcs33@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

AFAIK it is not possible. The reason from the Eclipse Team CVS Faq:
"
Eclipse does not support the use of the local connection method as this
requires a CVS client that also includes the CVS server code in it. Command
line cvs uses the same executable for the client and the server whereas
Eclipse is a client only. Since the repository is on the same machine as the
client, you should be able to use pserver.
"

Regards,
Csaba
