Hi,
    I'm using NetBeans 3.6 on Windows XP. I'm trying to use the CVS
support in NetBeans, but it doesn't seem to work. I use PuTTY tools
for ssh support and the cvs client from cvshome.org. I set up a CVS
profile and when I do a CVS checkout the Standard Output shows nothing
but the Error Output shows lines like:

cvs server : updating ...

with names of the subdirectories in the module I'm trying to checkout.
 However, nothing gets copied to my machine, the CVS filesystem in the
Filesystems panel can't be expanded and NetBeans complains of an
Exception in the class
org.netbeans.modules.vcs.profiles.cvsprofiles.commands.CvsUpdate :

java.lang.StringIndexOutofBoundsException : String index out of range

Has anyone experienced this problem and know if there is a solution?

Thanks,
