Yeah, I have a kind of solution. Freshly created this afternoon.

the IDEA external command looks like - 

Checkout
command = C:\intellij504\config\checkout.bat
parameters = $\staging\src\$FilePathRelativeToSourcepath$
w:\src\$FileDirRelativeToSourcepath$

The batch job is contained in the vss.zip file.

the batch file basically, sets the sssafe.ini location, cd's to the working
directory, then calls the checkout command. w:\src is my working directory

Setting the sssafe.ini location means that if your windows login name is the
same as your vss name, you don't need to log in. 

It is very similar to the checkin - my checkin in Command looks like
command = C:\intellij504\config\checkin.bat
parameters = $FilePathRelativeToSourcepath$
$SourcepathEntry$\$FileDirRelativeToSourcepath$

regards,
dk-

Subject: [Eap-list] Using VSS with IDEA


Hi list.

This might be a bit off-topic, but has anyone found a way to use Visual
SourceSafe from within IDEA (or from the command line at all)?  There seems
to be a command line tool SS.EXE which could be integrated as an External
Tool, but I can't get it to work - it doesn't recognise my
username/password.  Just the ability to check in/out files would be great,
but things like diff and history would be ideal.

TIA
Dan/tastapod
