Hi David,
Several comment:
1. In the meantime (your Sunday morning time) pserver miraculously started
to work again. I don't like it because I don't understand what the problem
was (I wonder if there was any planed maintenance under way? Maybe I have to
subscribe to some other mailing lists....?)
2. By trial and error I also discovered that extssh and my commiter account
are working on all projects (I assumed that in read-only mode). The problem
was that both the ant task and in the PDE build script are calling the
installed cvs on my machine and not the one in eclipse. And this said (well
known problem on Windows) that extssh is not a valid method.
3. Thanks a lot for pointing me to the build resources which are very
helpful in learning by example and reusing parts of it.
