For using CVS in IDEs under Windows, you need a SSH client, e.g. PuTTY or CygWin. Setup SshCVSaccess.
with PuTTY:
- setup environment variable CVS_RSH pointing to PUTTY_HOME\plink.exe
in IDEA: project properties > VCS support > CVS > General
- setup path to your cvs.exe
- setup Apache CVS root
- Add
- access method: "ext"
- host: "cvs.apache.org"
- user: your user name
- repository path: "/home/cvs"
as result the CVS root preview should be:
ext:USER@cvs.apache.org:/home/cvs
That's all. Now you can use it.
in Eclipse: Window > Preferences > Team > CVS > Ext Connection Method
- CVS_RSH: path to PUTTY_HOME\plink.exe
- Parameters: default: {host} -l {user}
- CVS_SERVER: path to cvs.exe
The rest similar to the above.
