jcvs not connecting

[vickyk]

Hi,
I have been doing the application programming from long time and now feel I should see the internals of the applicaiton server in detail and for that I opt for Jboss.
I have downloaded the jcvs and once I try to test the connectivity from jcvs to cvs repository of jboss it gives following output/error :
**********************************************************
CVSRequest: opening server...
CVSClient.openServer: creating connection...

First, I recommend you first try to make sure you can get CVS to work from the command line, before trying any of the graphical tools. If you're on Win32 system, download and install Cygwin (and include the CVS module), if you're on Linux/Unix you are more than likely to have CVS command line already.

Use SSH to connect to the server, i.e EXPORT CVS_RSH=ssh.

Then checkout with cvs -d :ext:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/jboss co jboss-all

Once you got that working from command line, then start playing with GUI toys.

Your proxy needs to allow CVS to pass.

How to set proxy needs to allow CVS to pass?

that's up to whoever administrates your proxy/firewall/NAT or however you go to the Internet.
