Description David Carver CLA 2007-04-25 16:27:30 EDT 
Build ID: 3.2.x

Steps To Reproduce:
Currently there is an old CVS plugin that adds sserver support.  It would be nice to have this native in eclipse.

I wasn't aware there was an SSL based connection method for CVS. What be benefit does it offer over SSH (or is it just more firewall friendly)? Could you include a link to the "old plug-in" you are referring to. 

Unfortunately, we really don't have the manpower to address this but we would be happy to accept a contribution.

Here is the link to the SSL plugin:

Big benefit is that it is much more Windows friendly instead of having to have an SSH server, which isn't native to Windows.   Other clients already support this like: SmartCVS, CVSNT command line utilies, and TortoiseCVS
Comment 3 Michael Valenta CLA 2007-04-26 09:34:43 EDT 
OK. I did some digging and we have already provided a link to that plug-in in the wiki (http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_Plugins). I agree that it would be nice if this support was included in Eclipse. However, at this stage, I think it is up to the author to decide if they want to contribute the plug-in or not.
