Connect to CVS via Ant

[Rama Ituarte]

Alright brothers
I need some help with Ant and CVS. Can anybody tell me how to connect to a CVS server via Ant.
I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Rama

Ok, I figured it out. If anybody has the same question here is the answer.
First you need to install WinCVS because Ant cannot connect to CVS directly. Place the cvs.exe on you system PATH variable. That is about it.
Run the following ant script to test out
<project default="CVS">
<target name="CVS">
<cvspass cvsroot=" server:yourusername@yourCVSserverIPAddress:/your/cvsroot" password="yourpassword" />
<cvs command="-version"/>
</target>
</project>

Let me add that another option would be to simply download the CVS for Windows (without the WinCVS GUI)...
