Your assumtion is not entirely correct. While the cvs task should work on all platforms that have cvs installed, it is not a java implementation of CVS functionality. The CVS task is a wrapper task, that calls the cvs binary. Therefore, cvs must be present and on your PATH in order for this task to work. Unlike the scp task, for example, where you do not need to have scp installed and on your PATH.
