I am trying to use CVS command in ant script in RAD. It is recommended to install CVS client and set path for cvs.exe to solve problem of
"Caught exception: CreateProcess: cvs checkout error=2".

However, I am really confused that why I need to install CVS client if I can check out and check in and other cvs operations through RAD's default CVS client facility.

Why would Ant make use of RAD's CVS functionality when there's a freely available, open source and far more popular CVS client available?
If (and that's one big if) Rational makes its CVS functionality available via some API, you could write an Ant task which uses it and contribute it.
