[news.eclipse.tools] Re: CVS: version not visible in cvs perspective

[Michael Valenta <Michael_Valenta@xxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

Eclipse can be configured to discover version and brach tags. Here's a 
snipet from the CVS buildnotes:

The version and branch items will start out empty and must be populated 
by the user. This can be done by performing a "Refresh Branches and 
Versions" from the popup menu of a repository location or by using 
"Configure Branches and Tags".
