Description Axel Mueller CLA 2007-04-17 04:24:14 EDT 
I have a module called proj1 with a subdirectory named TEST in the cvs repository. 
CVS/
   proj1/
     TEST
After checkout I create locally a link called test on this (ln -s TEST test). This is needed for some build operations.
The local file structure is then as follows:
proj1/
   TEST
   test

If I synchronize my Eclipse project proj1 I get the following:
Errors occurred in 1 of 108 operations.
  The server reported an error while performing the "cvs update" command.
  proj1: cvs [update aborted]: no such directory `proj1/test'

However, there is no error message if I use command line cvs to update proj1.

This error message is very annoying as I get it every time I sync my source with the CVS repository.
Comment 1 Axel Mueller CLA 2007-04-17 04:34:23 EDT 
In Eclipse 3.3M6 I get different errors after synchronization:
There are outgoing additions in proj1/test and there conflicting additions in proj1/TEST.
Comment 2 Michael Valenta CLA 2007-04-17 09:48:21 EDT 
While the symptoms are not the same as bug 51049, the cause is the same. Eclipse (and more generally, Java) has no knowledge of OS level links.
