hey everyone, I'm just starting to get into game programming and someone suggested learning game engines so this will be my first attempt to learn how to use one. I'm using the getting started page as a reference to install. Everything so far has worked fine until the cvs portion. I should mention that this is the first time I've ever seen cvs and didn't even know it existed. Anyway I opened Admin–Command line and put this in-- cvs -d :pserver:[guest]@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login then pserver for the pasword entry that comes up. Then the window closes and I get a exited 1 status. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong :?
hello dr. spud, im not sure the answer to your question but I can tell you if you use eclipse its quite easy to use cvs from eclipse
thx Ill try it… to update my previous post I tried something else I entered cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login (this time withoutthe brackets around guest)
and entered it in the shell instead of the command prompt under Admin. This is what I got…
Logging in to :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:2401:/cvs
cvs [login aborted]: guest: no such user
Fatal error, aborting.
Try this instead:
cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs login
followed by
cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs checkout jme
thx ya'll I got it to work. Now im just trying to figure out why I have compile errors.
heres what happens when I try to compile…

Looks like you're still working with Java 1.4? You need the 1.5 SDK for jME.
Now I feel dumb thx for your help everyone. I think I got it, Now the fun can start…
