[news.eclipse.tools] Re: 2.1 M4 VCS Question

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxx>]

Christian,

The CVS Repositories view now displays modules defines in the 
CVSROOT/modules file along with remote folders. I hadn't anticipated the 
removal of the CVSROOT/modules file from the server. Why did you (or 
your admin) remove the modules file? Please log a bug report against 
Platform VCM. As a work around, add an empty modules file to the CVSROOT 
module of your cvs server or drop back to M3.
