Yes, I forgot to mention this: For anonymous checkout you have to use
pserver. You'll need extssh to checkin modified code.

That's perfect.

No need to create such a folder in your workspace.

Did you download and install the Sysdeo Tomcat plug-in yet?
Have you been able to set the project's build paths so that all code could
compile? If you encounter problems concerning this step I might give you
some hints.

Hello Benno,

I have finally been able to create and connect to the
repository.

During the repository creation, the default for
'Connection Type' came as 'extssh', which I  replaced
by 'pserver' from the drop down. So for a new
repository creation we need to provide the following
details-
Host: cvs.sourceforge.net Repository path:
/cvsroot/vif 
User: anonymous 
Password: (none)
Connection Type: pserver
(on my machine 'extssh' was the default.
Interestingly, help document says that pserver is the
default provided. May be your installation has this?
Which then explains why things went smooth in a fresh
workbench.)

As it is we are talking about it, I checked what the
connection types mean in help.
There are three connection methods that come with the
Eclipse CVS client: 
pserver - a CVS specific connection method. 
extssh - an SSH 2.0 client included with Eclipse 
ext - the CVS ext connection method which uses an
external tool such as SSH to connect to the
repository. The tool used by ext is configured in the
Team > CVS > EXT Connection Method preference page. 

STATUS:
1. I have created 5 java projects and 1 simple project
of scripts and I have got the latest code from the CVS
now.

2. For the 'CVSROOT' folder in CVS, I have not created
a project yet. Please let me know if I need to create
it as a seperate project and which 'project type' to
be used for it. ('CVS' or 'Java Project')?

Thanks for your help in all this.

Regards,
Leena

Dear Leena

Sorry for my delayed answer concerning the settings and the import from the
CVS repository.
I tried it again and I had no problems to connect to the project's CVS from
my Eclipse.
I tried in a fresh workbench, therefore, I had absolutely no presetted data
which could disturb the creation of the CVS Repository Location. Here's the
information I provided:
 Host: cvs.sourceforge.net
 Repository path: /cvsroot/vif
 User: anonymous
 No Password is needed for anonymous checkout.

I found a better way to import code form CVS then I discribed in my mail
from 2004-10-11.
It's far better to use the import wizard for an initial CVS checkout.
Here are the steps needed to do that:
1. Call File->Import... to display the import wizard.
2. Select "Checkout Projects from CVS" as import source. -> Next
3. Select the repository location you created already (i.e.
:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/vif).  -> Next
4. Use an existing module to import: Select one of the projects displayed in
the list. (Remember the name of the project you selected) -> Next
5. Choose "Check out as a project configured using the New Project
Wizard" -> Next
6. Choose HEAD to import from. -> Finish
You're now asked for some information to create the appropriate project to
import the data from the CVS.
7. If you import a Java Project, you have to select the Java Project
izard.  -> Next
8. As project name you enter the name of the project you selected for
import.  -> Finish

Hope that works in your workspace as smoothly as in mine.

Benno
