Re: CVS, EXT, ssh, plink, example plug-in.xml

["Anders Nilsson" <anders.nilsson@xxxxxx>]

To add to Michaels point.

I am using CVS over SSH with Public/Private keys from Eclipse 2.

In the Preferences->Team->CVS->Ext Connection Method, I have set the CVS_RSH
to point to my plink.exe.
The CVS_SERVER is left at the default value "cvs".

In the CVS Repositories View I set up the Repository with host name and
repository as normal with CVS. I enter my userid, but password is left
blank. Connection type is ext (NOT extssh).

Obviously I need to have Pageant active before I connect.

This works fine for me.
