Follow these steps to associate Eclipse with a specific CVSNT repository. This procedure works identically for CVSNT on a local machine or a networked server because it always goes through the Host name. Once communication is established, Eclipse accesses the same CVS repository in future sessions.
1. Start Eclipse.
2. From the Eclipse Window menu, choose Show View, Other... .
3. Expand CVS, select CVS Repositories, and click OK to list the CVS repositories presently known to Eclipse.
4. Right-click from within the CVS Repositories view and choose New, Repository Location.
5. In the Host field, type the name of the host without any slashes.
6. In the Repository path field, type the name given to the path of the repository you seek. This is the same as the Name field described in Setting Up CVSNT.
7. In the User and Password fields, type your normal network login user-id and password.
8. Consider selecting the Save Password option, but note that there is some degree of risk in having the CVS plug-in save the password.
9. Click Finish.
Eclipse is now able to access the contents of that repository. In the CVS Repositories view, you can click the plus sign (+) to view all the projects in that repository.
