Hi,

It is considered a very bad idea to incorporate your passwords into the
CVSROOT specification. This will spread a copy of your password into
every CVS/Root file in the checked out tree.

The 'correct' way to do things is to perform a 'cvs login' which will
cache the password in the $HOME/.cvspass file in an encoded format (see
the CVS sources for scramble/unscramble if you are curious). Once the
initial 'login' has been performed, the password is obtained from the
file and not needed by your createConnection method.

It would probably be best to instruct the user to do the cvs login
outside of the java process as 'cvs login' calls the GNULIB getpass()
function which will try to write a prompt to STDERR and read the
password from /dev/tty on UNIX or via a loop reading via the _getch()
function if on Windows.

        Good luck,
        -- Mark
