Eclipse, CVS & Sourceforge

Well, Eclipse CVS support rocks. It took me about 10 minutes to do my first CVS check-in
via Eclipse. From a previous experience trying to get CVS over SSH working under windows, I wasn't looking forward to it.

For the record, use the connection type “extssh”, and fill everything else in as you'd expect and it just works.

Another interesting thing about CVS at sourceforge is that it can be accessed via
ports 80 & 443
. That could be useful to know – at work in the past I've had to use CVSGrab to get the latest builds for various projects.
