Hello,
I am currently evaluating Final Builder. So far I am very happy with Final Builder but I am having some difficulties with CVS.
My current environment utilizes Eclipse extssh PuTTY to access CVS. I can use the DOS commands but I need help configuring Final Builder to I can evalute the built in CVS options. I could not find any reference to PuTTY or extssh in the help files. Any special configuration required to get this to work?
Thanks
Eric

Hi Eric
I have to admit we have zero experience with using CVS with ssh. Having said that, you should be able to change the Method field to extssh (just type it in) and set the port number accordingly.

I realized that ssh is for eclipse and I can access CVS directly using ext method in final builder, no need to edit the method field.
