Setting Up Local CVS Server with Eclipse

After 2 hours of frustration over setting up Eclipse with CVSNT (CVS on Windows XP), I finally got it.


But first, read my post on Install CVS Server on WinXP.


Here are very important tips:

  • On CVSNT, use localhost as Server Name and Lock Server.
  • On CVSNT, leave other settings at their defaults.
  • Do not use words like CVS or Admin in the name of the repository folder. These are reserved names in CVSNT.
  • In Eclipse, when adding a repository path, DO NOT include the drive path like so: \Repository.
