Hi Norbert, can you resend these patches against HEAD in CVS. Eclipse
doesn't 
handle patches against source distributions. Thanks.


OUCH! My company's IT security is blocking me from direct CVS access to
the eclipse host. So this was my procedure for creating patches:

- Import the plug-in including sources into the workspace.
- Check it into a local version control.
- Do my changes, create the patches and submit them.

The only way for me to get sources from CVS is currently using cvsgrab
which accesses the eclipse CVS server via its ShowCVS (html) frontend.
Every single file is requested as a HTML page and this takes hours to
figure out all the correct command line parameters and then again hours
until a large plugin is downloaded.

Here are my current options:

- Go through the pain with cvsgrab
- Doug goes through the pain of applying my patches just the same :-)
- Somebody gives me a hint how to access eclipse CVS through a proxy
- Wait a month until I have highspeed internet access at home and can
work from there

Any suggestions, anybody?
Thanks
