error using jcvsreport

[Tompoes]

Hi,

I'm a new user of cvsreports, i use the following config file:

cvsroot=:pserver:hal...@192.168.3.9:/home/cvsp5
cvsmodule=Planon5
graphs=CodeSize

The cvs repository is very big over 1G and a few years old with a lot
of branches and tags.

The first thing i had to do was changing the java startup parameters
in:
java -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xmx1024m -cp "dest;src;lib/JCVSReport.jar"
ca.utoronto.JCVSReport.Presentation %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9

After that i got the error :
Syntax Error on parsing cvs line:errornous commit corrected
net.sf.bloof.BloofException: Syntax Error on parsing cvs

Can someone help me?

Hi Tompoes / Henk,

It looks to me like JCVSReport is having trouble parsing your CVS
Repository. The issue here might be a bug in bloof (the CVS parser) or
it might be that your CVS repository uses some new features that
bloof / JCVSReport does not understand.

If you're interested in tracking down the bug, try creating a smaller
CVS repository and seeing if you can figure out the exact formula for
causing JCVSReport to crash.

You may also want to try StatCVS -- see http://statcvs.sourceforge.net/
. While JCVSReport has not been updated since 2005, StatCVS is still
in active development so you may find it works better with your
repository.

Cheers,

David
