Release 5.3.1, February 18, 2002.
jCVS is a Java based CVS Client. CVS is a source code control system based on RCS. The primary benefit of CVS is that it provides a server/client protocol which allows clients such as jCVS to be written. jCVS allows any Java capable machine to be a CVS client, providing for a totally distributed source code management system.
The User Manual Table Of Contents is a good place to start. This is the same documentation displayed by the builtin help.
For those familiar with Java, cd to bin/
and java -jar jcvsii.jar
.
For Windows users, there is a shortcut in the bin/
directory. If
you edit the properties, and fix the path to the javaw.exe
program to match your JDK or JRE installation, then you should
be able to double-click the shortcut and launch jCVS II.
The jCVS home page will keep you abreast of new releases, as well as point you to download locations.

Thanks to all of the contributors. If I have inadvertently left your name off this list, please let me know!
Thanks to all of the daring beta testers:
Many thanks to Jim Kingdon, Mister client/server protocol.
Thanks to Owen S. Medd for risking his disk drive to very early releases, and knowing where to find good coffee.
We also need to pay serious homage to my wife for putting up with 18 hour days of hacking! I can not thank my wife enough for her understanding of my little programming problem. Maybe it’s time for that twelve step program….
Free Software! Get with the program.
