Here is my Source Code

PServerConnection c =new PServerConnection();
PServerConnection connection = c;
Scrambler scrambler = StandardScrambler.getInstance();
c.setUserName("kirank");
c.setHostName("fileserver.cash-tech.com");
c.setRepository("/source/repository/triton");
c.setEncodedPassword(scrambler.scramble("123456"));
c.open(); //Exception -- NullPointerException
System.out.println("connection created");
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println("connection not created");
e.printStackTrace();

Here's how I fixed this freakin' problem. Wasted half of my day!!!! javacvs seems buggy and there's minimal support for it. There were a few different people asking this question, but no one had answered it properly.
String root = null;
     BufferedReader r = null;
     try
     if (cvsRootFile.exists())
     r = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(cvsRootFile));
     root = r.readLine();
     catch (IOException e)
          // TODO: Fix this. log errors properly.
               System.err.println(e.getMessage());
               e.printStackTrace();
     finally
     try
     if (r != null)
     r.close();
     catch (IOException e)
          // TODO: Fix this. log errors properly.
                    System.err.println(e.getMessage());
                    e.printStackTrace();
     globalOptions = new GlobalOptions();
          globalOptions.setCVSRoot(root);
          CVSRoot cvsRoot = CVSRoot.parse(root);
     connection = new PServerConnection(cvsRoot);
     connection.open();
The difference is I'm passing a CVSRoot object to PServerConnection. "Manually" setting the connection parameters makes javacvs crap out. I have no idea why. I suspect a bug.
