I'm beginning to regret consenting to learn Java...

The world of Java programming seems to have coddled it's fanboi-ism rather than let it gentrify and die. As such, it has a most insular, we-can-do-everything-in-Java-and-you'll-do-it-our-way-too-(and-love-it) mentality. That aside, IntelliJ is driving me up the wall. Well, trying to use CVS from within it is driving me up the wall (and that's pretty clever for an open-plan office). I can do a cvs login from the CLI. I can do a cvs update from the CLI. Using the same connection spec and the same password, IntelliJ unhelpfully tells me "Unknown host". Admittedly, the password has been changed since I did the code-checkout, but that was arranged after IntelliJ apparantly decided my CVS server didn't exist. Any ideas? It has stumped my colleague, but I am going to ask another colleague who helped setup CVS years ago. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers?
