I'm trying to checkout a project from my local cvs repository to a location. Why is this giving this error? Am i not using the options properly?

ne@ne3:~/JarTester$ cvs -d:pserver:uname@localhost:/home/uname/cvsrepo/ co -P MavenTestApp /home/ne

cvs [server aborted]: Absolute module reference invalid: `/home/ne'

cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if any)

I can use cd but i have to run it in java. So cd is not in consideration.

Thank You

If this is your first cvs checkout, create a folder in Windows Explorer to hold all of your cvs project folders. Then create a subfolder for this project. (You may even want to create separate subfolders for each module if you're working in more than one.)

In Cvs, select Cvs Admin - Login and enter your cvs password. Click on the left window in the program and select a folder. Then select Cvs Admin - Checkout Module. Select the project folder you created earlier. Enter the project module name and click OK. You should see a scrolling list of filenames as these are created in your folder(s). Repeat the module creation process for each additional cvs module you wish to check out.
