I'm just starting to use Eclipse and really like it, but have been having a
strange problem that I can't seem to resolve.
On our current project we are running CVS, but not in any server mode just
pointing WinCVS at the cvsroot directory. Basically I want Eclipse to
ignore the fact that CVS is happening in the background.
When I create the project in Eclipse though, it recognizes the CVS
directories and adds them into my Package Explorer (I'll see web.servlet
package, and another branch called web.servlet.CVS). Which isn't a big deal
and I could ignore that, but it seems to cause other problems.
Every time a new class is added into CVS and I get it via WinCVS, I have to
refresh the project to get Eclipse to see the new class. Well every time I
do that, if I go into my target directory where my classes get compiled to,
the Entries files for CVS get changed to see the .java files in there!
So I'll have project/src/package/asdf.java and
project/classes/package/asdf.class, but the local CVS folders under my
classes folder (not anywhere else) get changed so they think that there's a
project/classes/package/asdf.java file too.
I'm not really sure what it is trying to do with making those changes.
It's difficult to explain. Anyway, any suggestions on how to get Eclipse to
basically "ignore" any local CVS directories and pretend it's just a local
project and leave the CVS to something else?
Thanks in advance.

Well, eclipse thinks it is modifying the file system alone. So,
naturally, it does not recognize file system changes done by any other
tool. However, there's an experimental plugin that checks the file system
every n minutes - but this is just a workaround and slows things down
considerably.

AFAIK there is no support for serverless CVS in eclipse. The best
solution is to install a server (available for many platforms) and let
eclipse use that.

Leave the CVS Repositories perspective open. It will ignore CVS related
directories and files even though you aren't using Eclipse' built in CVS
support.
