I commonly edit the JSPs using a text editor, and I sometimes use RCS to save revisions. I have altered the line ending from CRLF to LF with no problem, and even messed up the structure slightly without major problems when re-opening the JSP file in report builder.

CVS is similar enough to RCS, so I wouldn't see any big reason it wouldn't work.

Perhaps keyword replacement is happening. E.g. if the file contained something like $Date then that might be altered, which might mess something up.

Even though I have altered the line endings without problems, I would normally check that they were not being altered.

If there is some kind of binary/text differentiation in your interface with CVS then perhaps that has to be set correctly.

I must admit I normally save using RDF, not JSP. I use JSP for just some tasks, like merging two reports, or checking differences, so perhaps it's more flakey than I realize.
