delete locally, submit remotely?

or ssh to the cvs server and delete the actual files, if you don't care
about keeping their history (a cvs file is never deleted, just moved out
of view so it can be recovered if you need to later.

Why Eclipse automatically upload .cproject file, when I press "Commit"?
Can I disable this? My chief demands no unnecessary files in repository.
After .cproject and .project was actually deleted (except history) from
CVS, Eclipse created it again.

I'd suggest that the .cproject and .project files *are* necessary (they
contain important metadata for the project). Without these files, you'll
have to recreate the project every time you load from CVS.

That said, I believe that you can add the file names to the "Team |
Ignored Resources" page in the Preferences.

Eclipse is my initiative. Other programmers of the same project don't use
it. There are .automake, makefiles all what is needed to built project.
And when I opened my .cproject file I saw some file paths, depended on me
local machine (e.g. "D:\cpp\..."). Even if the other programmers use
eclipse it wouldn't be suitable.

I added ".project" and ".cproject" to the ignore resources, but them still
upload.

"Team > Add to .cvsignore" and "Team > Add to Version Control" are grey,
and can't press them (I use CVS via extssh). But even if they are exist,
it wouldn't help me because thees files aren't shown in the project tree.

You can manually create a .cvsignore file if you want...

It's just a list on files or patterns to ignore, one per line.

In your case, you'd want

..project
..cproject

If you're on Linux, do this:

cd /path/to/your/workspace/projectFolder
echo ".project" > .cvsignore
echo ".cproject" >> .cvsignore
cvs add .cvsignore
cvs ci -m "ignore project meta files" .cvsignore

If you're on Windows, my condolences. :P

Condolences accepted, but I created this file, however it doesn't work.

Once a file has been added to CVS it can not be ignored with .cvsignore.
That is a limitation/feature of CVS and nothing to do with Eclipse.
If you really want them gone, you'll have to ask your CVS administrator
to manually remove them from the CVS server repository, then the
..cvsignore will work.
But I'll re-iterate that those files SHOULD be checked in to CVS - as
Wayne said, without them you'll have to re-configure the project in
Eclipse every time it is checked out. Really, the files are tiny and do
no harm to someone who is not using Eclipse.

There are ways to avoid absolute paths, at least for Java projects (I'd
bet that C projects are the same). If you tell us the details (post the
..cproject file) we can probably help.

Note: I've copied the CDT newsgroup to this reply.

Problem solved. I just commited .cvsignore and, after it, removed thees
files from repository.

Are the automake makefiles allowed to be added to CVS? The .cproject and
..project files are a different form of makefiles. They correspond to a
different set of tools, but they provide a similar purpose. They define the
project and how to build it.
