The dialog box for "Add CVS Repository" when adding a new repository location requires the entry of a username in the username field. In our setup, we don't need to provide a username to the client. It is actually preferable to not specify the username, since those settings are stored completly ourside of Eclipse. We accesses our cvs repository using plink with paegent for authentication. With this setup, the username is redundant and we would prefer not to enter it.
The Eclipse CVS client already supports locations without usernames but the UI doesn't so this may not be a lot of work. However, given that there is a work around, this is not high priority.
This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if you feel this is still an important issue.
