Eclipse does not use any particular CMS, it uses a CMS abstraction layer.
This CMS abstraction layer is currently implemented by CVS, ClearCase, PVCS
and a whole heap of others... Stellation is just another CMS that can be
used by Eclipse that happens to be written using Eclipse (I believe...).
Stellation shows great promise as a CMS, but is still alpha/beta technology
and should not be used by any production level development efforts unless
prepared to deal with the risks associated with using such new technology.
To give an idea how 'green' Stellation still is, the official Stellation
source is still kept under CVS control.

But I think that you have answer this in here when you said that stellation

From I have read on the web it seems that stellation project will be
something great.
I'll have to try it this days.

Well, actually, there's slightly more to it than that. Beyond the
simple functionality issues, there's a major political/bureaucratic
issue involved in installing a Stellation server on Eclipse.
We've used Stellation for the IBM internal work on Stellation. If
we could install a Stellation server on the eclipse site, we'd probably
do it within a couple of weeks. But I suspect that it will take at least
a few months to convince the Eclipse sysadmins that our system can be
trusted to run securely without compromising their servers.

Actually my question (more a curiosity) was why the eclipse project/projects
are still kept in CVS
and not using stellation.
But I think that you have answer this in here when you said that stellation
is still alpha/beta.
From I have read on the web it seems that stellation project will be
something great.
I'll have to try it this days.
