I'm trying to checkout from a CVS tag into a remote project that is not in
my workspace. For whatever reason, I'm only able to checkout the module
(not the tagged version). When I try to import into the project from CVS
and I select the module, I'm never asked to specify a tag, it justs imports
the module. Is there a way to do this?

If you are checking out from the CVS Repository view, you should just
right-click on the module and choose "Check out as..."
That will prompt you for how to create the Project and then also prompt
you for what version to pull from CVS. You'll probably have to use the
"Configure Tags..." button the first time, which can be a little
intimidating at first. Play around with it and read the Help or post
questions if you need to.
If you originally had used the "Check out" option (instead of "Check out
as..."), it by default checks out HEAD into a Simple (non-Java) project.
Not generally what you want. I always recommend using "Check out as..."
Now, if you already have a Java project created from checking out but it
is the wrong version (maybe HEAD instead of a tag), you can right-click
on the Project and choose Replace with > Another version... and then
choose the Tag you want.
HTH,
Eric
