I'm expecting to be slammed for asking a stupid question but I've searched
the web and followed a variety of instructions relating to the problems of
using Eclipse on Windows with CVS and I haven't found an answer that
worked hence finally posting something here.
I'm running Windows XP Home (yes, I know, I use UNIX at work, but this is
what I have at home) and have Eclipse 3.1.0 and CVSNT 2.5.02 installed.
I've created a repository using the CVSNT Control Panel, created the
appropriate passwd file in CVSROOT for both my chosen account name and my
Windows XP login name (hedgert and "Tim Hedger-Gourlay") and successfully
accessed it from the command line using a DOS window using pserver. The
CVSROOT I've used is
:pserver:hedgert@tim:/EclipseCVS
I then go into Eclipse and the CVS Repositories area and try to create a
new repository location. I put in the elements of the CVSROOT (i.e. host:
tim, reopsitory path: /EclipseCVS, user: hedgert, password: blank,
connection type: pserver) [NB no DNS or similar issues - I have the same
problem if I use the machine IP address or localhost or 127.0.0.1 rather
than my machine name "tim"). I then click Finish and briefly get a dialog
box (authenticating using pserver) but then get an error:
Error validating location: "Could not connect to
:pserver:hedgert@tim:/EclipseCVS: Socket Exception: Connection reset
i.e. exactly the same CVSROOT as I've successfully used from the command
line as mentioned above.
I'm at a loss. I've read enough on the web to know that Eclipse doens't
support the "local" method of connection to CVS, so pserver (which clearly
is supported) seems the way to go, but I can't make it work.
I can't find any relevant help on the web relating to the connection reset
problem - can anyone help?

The only thing I could find by searching the Eclipse Bugzilla was:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38430
If you're using something earlier than Eclipse 3.0 Milestone 9, I'd
suggest you upgrade. If you're using something later, then it sounds
like something that was thought to have been fixed really isn't. In that
case you should open a defect at http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/ and
reference the existing one, as long as you're using CVSNT version
2.0.58d or higher, see the CVS FAQ:

Before resorting to raising a bug as you (Andrew) have described below, I
attempting to get some log information (as described in the Eclipse CVS FAQ
"is there any equivalent to CVS_CLIENT_LOG in Exclipse?"
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/~checkout~/platform -vcm-home/docs/online/cvs_features2.0/cvs-faq.html#misc_0
as this seems to offer the possibility of getting low level log information
from the attempt to communicate with CVS. However, having followed the
instructions I stubornly get nothing at all in the console window. I
presume this is because I'm only going to get log information once
communication with CVS has been established and my whole problem is that it
seems Eclipse 3.1.0 cannot communicate properly with CVSNT 2.5.02. Can
anyone confirm this - would you expect me to see log information even if
Eclipse isn't properly talking to CVSNT, or would I only see this once a
repository has been opened and dialogue has been established?
