RE: Checking out specific revision

Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but I'm using the javacvs java library.  I'm
trying to program some actions using the library.  I'm not trying to figure
out how to use NetBeans the IDE.  So I wanted to know if there was some way
to get the contents of a revision into memory without having to use the
CheckoutCommand to check the file out into a temporary location and read the
file myself in code.  Thanks.

1. Hold the Ctrl.-key before you click the specific cvs-command, then you
will see the advanved options.
2. Use the cvs-diff-command with Ctrl-key to have a diff between the desired
revisions.

Hope that helps...

Hello, I'm relatively new to using the netbeans cvs module.  Hopefully this
is the correct place to ask questions.  I want to checkout a specific
revision of a file in order to do a diff.  Is there a standard way of doing
this, i.e. do you just check the file out into a temporary location and read
it?  Or is there a way to read the file's contents into memory using the
javacvs library without having to write to the filesystem?  Thanks.
