running the ant, and setting the output folder to the default output
folder, but this didn't work either; I am unable to see the class files
from within eclipse.
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
Best regards,

If the original code has its own ant build.xml file, I don't think
Eclipse picks it up to use. I've had loads of "fun" in the past trying
to get Eclipse to use a code base's existing build.xml file to build the
classes in Eclipse following the layout established in the original
build.xml, and it was always a headache.
Eclipse implicitly creates its own build.xml file for its internal Ant,
which you will typically never see or edit. To execute your original
build.xml file, you'd have to perform "Run As" to get Eclipse to realize
its an Ant build file. But again, trying to get Eclipse to use a
working, command-line usable build.xml file has always been difficult
for me to set up inside Eclipse.

Uhhm.
I checked out some CVS code according to the Cheat sheet and it
works nicely BUT ...
it doesn't compile.
I have run the ant file as a ant file, it works fine but within
Eclipse it still doesnt get beyond "the selection does not contain a main
type"
If I check out by hand on the shell and open a new project via
working ant build file, everything is fine.
But this should work better than manual CVS handling.
I dont know what to do ...
Tnx Thomas
