RE: How to list modules through a FileInfoEvent on CVSNT

Hi,


we use IBM Websphere Studio Application Developer/Eclipse (WSAD) for
development and as a front-end to CVS. IBM doesn't support CVSNT for WSAD
and I understand why, since we have encountered numerous pretty severe
errors.

Yes I know that Eclipse can list modules, however for very good reasons we
need to be able to do this programmatically as well through a dedicated
application.

Of course I started looking at Eclipse CVS client source code, before the
netbeans API, however the Eclipse CVS client code is not meant to be used
outside Eclipse (it's not really an API per se). Furthermore it's no way
near the netbeans API in terms of documentation.

Now I think I have two options left:

1) try to use the Eclipse CVS client source despite it's inaccessibility
2) change the requirements for the application

Why? CVSNT also runs in Linux. BTW, Eclipse, IDEA and my SmartCVS can 
show the root directories in the repository with a good-old CVS-server, 
no matter, whether CVSROOT/modules is populated.
