Yes.  If I do, Vector vector =3D exe.getProcEnvironment(); and dump this, I =
see my path and 
cvs is there.  What I am starting to wonder is if it's there but not. What 
I mean is, when I started the dos shell, cvs was not part of my path.  I 
ran Ant and got the error.  I then did, set PATH=3D%PATH%;"c:\development\cv=
s\bin" and made sure I could run cvs.  When I continued 
to run Ant however, it still did not work.  What I am wondering is if I 
needed to set this before running Ant for the first time.  I will give it 
a try as well as your suggestion.

That's usually the error you get for the executable not being in the 
Path...

... but you already knew that. Are you really, really sure that CVS is in
your path when run Ant=3F

As an experienced Ant guy who just a few days ago was stumped because I
wrote net.bf instead of net.sf, I can assure you everyone eventually will
get stuck on a silly error like mine above.

Check your Path, carefully.

Try running <exec executable=3D"cvs" ... /> just above your custom task.

Run with -debug, and study the output slowly. Etc... --DD
