CVS appends a ,v at end of file

I am using eclipse Luna with CVS for its synchronization and committing. However I keep getting a weird outcome from using it. For example my java class and file is named PrimeSieve. So when I commit the change, the file goes from being called PrimeSieve.java to PrimeSieve.java,v (the ,v gets appended). I don't quite understand or know where to get the resources to get the information to fix this. The reason I am trying to fix this is because when I run javac the ,v at the end gives me a bad flag warning with the compiler. Can anyone help me with this?

Solution

  • With CVS at the end of each file it appends a ,v because that is indication of the type of file it is. Any file with a ,v at the end of it is a history file.

    For you to be able to make use of the .java class you would have to checkout the history file like so:

    co yourJavaFile.java,v

    This leaves you with 

    yourJavaFile.java

    Hopefully this helps someone.
