<p> </p> |
|
|
<p>You have set up relative mapping (repository prefix) under |
|
|
CVSNT, so that, for example, "D:\cvs\repo" maps to "/REPO". That means |
|
|
you should be able to use ":pserver:user@host:/REPO". However, CVSNT |
|
|
does not always communicate these paths to the client properly; in |
|
|
particular, Eclipse needs information for synchronization which is not |
|
|
included in this mode of operation. The solution is to change your |
|
|
CVSNT server settings to disable the use of a repository prefix, and |
|
|
use the full path of the repository, thus: |
|
|
":pserver:user@host:D:\cvs\repo".</p> |

|
|
<p>This error, or an error stating that "An error has occurred |
|
|

|
|
CVSNT server has been configured to use a repository prefix (also |
|

referred to as a repository alias). CVSNT provides this mechanism to |
|
|
allow compatibility with the Unix/Linux based command line tools. |
|
|
However, the CVSNT server does not properly map the repository paths |
|
|
that are communicated in text messages. The Eclipse CVS client relies |
|
|
on these text messages to provide advanced features such as |
|
|
synchronization and compare. In order for these features to work |
|
|
properly, the CVSNT server must not be configured to use a repository |
|
|
prefix. Instead, the full path name (i.e. D:\cvs\root) must be used |
