I have never used cvs in my life (only git, svn) – can anyone tell me how in the world I can get the source/jar of this bundle to my local Ubuntu box?
I’ve installed “cvs” into ubuntu, but “cvs co” command complains about some “CVSROOT” not being set.
EDIT: Thanks to duffymo I’ve set up my CVSROOT variable, now when I try to “cvs co” I get the following:
penguin:~/Downloads$ cvs co dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt
cvs checkout: cannot find module `dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt' - ignored
Turns out everything is much easier than I thought.
Simply bring up the “CVS Repositories” view in Eclipse, right click on it (yes – on the empty window!) and click “Paste connection” link, which looks something like this:
Thanks to Eclipse doc:
