CVS with ext or extssh

[josh]

It appears that "ext" and "extssh" cvs connections are not really
supported, although they appear as Connection Procool options under
the CVS Repository Plugin configuration.

The CvsSupport.java around line 185 adds the port 2401 to the cvs
root url. This works for "pserver" connections, but does not work for
"ext" or "extssh" connections to cvs. There also may be issues with
the org.netbeans.lib.cvsclient.connection.ConnectionFactory support
for extssh connections.

Is it correct that "ext" and "extssh" cvs connections are not
supported in version 0.9.200.400 ?

Josh,

CVS support has always been a weak point for Vulcan mostly because I don't use it.  It wouldn't surprise me to learn that ext and extssh do not work well since I haven't tested them (Not having an environment to test with and being too lazy to set up a CVS server just for testing).

There have been some minor changes to the CVS integration since the last release on the Google Code site.  If you'd like to try the latest snapshot, it can be downloaded from http://www.vulcan-project.org/live/site/vulcan/vulcan-web/target/vulcan-web-0.9-SNAPSHOT.war.

If you have some time to hack on it, I would definitely be interested in integrating any improvements you make into my releases.
