I have the windows download and made the following export.sh shell script:
java -classpath "./lib/ccprovider.jar:./lib/cvsprovider.jar:./lib/log4j-1.2.7.jar:./lib/svnprovider.jar:./lib/common.jar:./lib/javacvs.jar:./lib/mksprovider.jar:./lib/stprovider.jar:./lib/vssprovider.jar:./lib/pvcsprovider.jar:./svnimporter.jar" org.polarion.svnimporter.main.Main list cvs.properties
I have also tried with .... main.Main $1 $2 $3 which just gives me errors as if the parameters are not passed ergo: the help dump
I either get the Abort on line 1
or I get a NullPointer error on StackTrace
I have tried to get the the talked about Linux distro for the importer, but the download page does not give me the option.
I tried the polarion svn repositiory but it says i do not have sufficient rights to see/access the files.
I do get logged in.
I am very interested in getting the importer working to bring my team to centralized development.
Unfortunately I seem to have some/or several things messed up in my attempts to use the importer.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

# If svn repository is not exist it will be created.
#
# existing-svnrepos - if enables and if import enabled by previous
# option then dump will be imported into svn repository ONLY IF REPOSITORY EXISTS

# existing records in svn's parent directory before import dump to it.

# "Now the importer always import whole history(with possibilities like trunk-only etc.).
# It should be possible to import only current state as one revision. It is useful for
# the incremental import. In current situation we will never be able to import whole because
# of the size of the dump file."
# But see the new parameter "dump.file.sizelimit.mb" below.

# AFFECT FOR FULL DUMP CREATION ONLY!
use_only_last_revision_content=no
# VM systems often allow to set a description on a versioned file (one for all revisions).
# svnimporter is able to migrate it to a svn property. Since there is no predefined
# property key for this purpose in subversion, you can configure it here. If you do
# not give a property key name, the file description will not be migrated.
# NOTE: migration of properties is presently implemented only for PVCS
#
file_description_property_key=description
# If use_file_copy is set to yes, svnimporter uses SVN file copy operations for tags and
# branches. This raises the quality of the import dramatically. On the other hand,
# it works reliably for one-shot imports only. DO NOT SET THIS TO YES if you
# want to make incremental imports to synchronize repositories; otherwise the resulting
# dump files may not be importable to SVN.
#
# If set to no, every branch and tag operation is implemented as a simple file add operation.
# The origin of the tag or branch from the trunk is not recorded.
#
# Presently, this flag is evaluated only by the import from PVCS, CVS, MKS, ClearCase.

# this behavior you should not set checkintimespan or set it to 0.

# Note3: This can also create overlapping commits. Example:

# 15:02 userB starts committing
# 15:04 userA finishes committing
# (time when userB finishes committing doesn't matter)
# This maybe because StarTeam was slow
. Anyway, the importer checks this case# and issues a WARNING message. It then further checks that the following
# (overlapping) commit does not conflict with the commit. If a conflict
# is detected the conversion process is aborted and you are requested to
# take further actions (eg. reduce checkintimespan).
