I like to setup version management with WBIMB 5.0.3 and the Eclipse-plugin CVS. Especially I try to use modules (defined in CVSROOT\modules) for tagging several projects in one single step. This failed with the following output on the CVS-Console:
***
cvs rtag -r "HEAD" "myTag" "CVSROOT/Emptydir"
cvs rtag: Tagging CVSROOT/Emptydir
OK (0:00.671 genommen)
***
Other CVS-operations from the context-menu (right mouse button) of CVS-modules fail as well, but not all of them  .
Does anybody have experiences with WBIMB and CVS? Did I forget any configuration to use modules? Or can anybody recommend me some "best price" papers to learn about it? |

I'm not a CVS expert.
But what error is returned, to let you know that these steps are FAILING?
You may also be running into issues with version conflicts. The WBIMB tooling is tied to a specific level of Eclipse, which also ties it to a specific level of the CVS plug-in. There may or may not be unsupported features of that plug-in, there may also be conflicts between the revision of the plug-in and the revision of the CVS server you are running.
There are some known issues in this area, the details of which I don't remember.

The error is that CVS uses the directory "EmptyDir" instead of a list of all directories / projects of the modul and for that no file of the modul has been tagged (that's what I expected).
I already considered version conflicts between the eclipse team plug-in and our CVS-server, but I did not find any hint. To handle modules in CVS is not realy a new feature. |

| Hi Annette, to give you a warm feeling about eclipse and CVS, the eclipse Java plugins for the WBI-MB toolkit are all developed by IBM using another instance of eclipse that is linked to a CVS system for version control. It all works fine. |

Hi Shanson,
just to understand right? Do you mean I should wait until the next release of WBIMB hoping there will be integrated a newer version of Eclipse?
Hi Jonathan,
you can be shure I have got more than one reason not to consider ClearCase...  |

Except, Annette seems to be having a problem with "EmptyDir".
