CVS access [message #1610365]

Our group manages our code changes inside a CVS repository local (NFS) to all of our machines. There is no server and CVSROOT is simply a path to the location of our repository.

How can I configure Eclipse to access this repository. It appears that I'm required to have a username and a password for a server (i.e., pserver) when I don't have such.

Is this even possible? I might be making this harder than I should be.

Thanks,
Steve

That's a great question, and with some mild searching I couldn't find an answer.

I guess migrating the repository over to Git is out of the question?

It's an old question, and at least back then it was possible via a workaround. See http://bugs.eclipse.org/6892 . http://bugs.eclipse.org/6892#c31 mentions that, if you are on a Unix or Linux system, you can just do it as a loopback--i.e. connect to localhost using the extssh mechanism and whatever mounted path the repository is at.
