Description _ gtzabari 2003-12-09 16:32:34 UTC 
dev build 200312031900

   Can't use JavaCVS because of issue #37753 and
can't use the Generic VCS engine because it
requires an external CVS.EXE engine. Even after
you select USE INTERNAL CLIENT it refuses to work
and keeps on looking for CVS.EXE
Comment 1 Martin Entlicher 2003-12-09 17:41:49 UTC 
O.K. I'm currently working on the CVS profile for Generic VCS. I'm
changing the dialogs and set of the commands so that when you select
the built-in client it should work similar to JavaCVS module.

You're right that not all commands work correctly when built-in client
is selected. I simply did not count with the possibility that JavaCVS
becomes absolutely unusable.

I'm concentrating on getting the CVS profile to work.
Comment 2 Martin Entlicher 2003-12-10 18:12:12 UTC 
Update:

All commands on the popup menu should work O.K. in tomorrow's dev
build.
The only exception is graphical diff, where one file is shifted by
several lines. This shift will be fixed as soon as issue #37843 is
fixed.

Commands on Versioning Explorer (now "VCS Filesystems") still use
cvs.exe. I will work on this tomorrow.
Comment 3 Martin Entlicher 2003-12-11 09:02:31 UTC 
Commands acting on VCS Filesystems fixed in trunk:

/cvs/vcsgeneric/profiles/cvsprofiles/src/org/netbeans/modules/vcs/profiles/cvsprofiles/config/cvs.xml,v 
<--  cvs.xml
new revision: 1.13; previous revision: 1.12

So now, when you select the built-in client, cvs.exe should not be
used at all.

OK in the current NB36 dev
