D'oh! Always hate when this happens ... but great minds think alike I guess. I too have written and released an eclipse plugin to provide a graphical CVS version tree. Check it out here:
I used GEF and set the graph viewer up as an editor. I have not tried the Eclipse Version Tree Plugin, but plan to do so in the next couple of days. If yours is more feature-rich (looks like it), and your project has more momentum (also appears to be the case: 1 developer vs 6), I may just refer folks to your project for a more advanced tool. Regardless, I will add a link to your sourceforge project page on my site.
I will get back with more discussion.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Most definite. You guys rock. I like your plugin better than my own! So here are some suggestions:
* Do you plan to implement merge lines? i.e. configurable tag introspection that creates a "dotted" line from a version on one branch into a version on another branch. I have done this, and will be happy to share code, or join the project and contribute this to it.
* Layout of the graph seems a little off - bent lines that could be straight, left-justification of a node inside a column? This might be something I can assist on as well, as I developed a custom algorithm for doing layout for my plugin.
* Publicize!!! I cannot believe that it took me this long to find your plugin. Doing a search on sourceforge for "cvs eclipse" (require all) does not even include it in the result list. Only found it doing a general search on 'cvs' and paging through the hundreds of results. Also found it (once I knew the project name) via "version eclipse". So I recommend:
(1) Add some more verbiage to the summary page (?? not sure if this would have the desired effect for sf searches - no clue what the sf search results sort ordering is based on.
(2) Add this plugin to the Eclipse plugin lists that are out there: http://www.eclipse-workbench.com/jsp/plugins.jsp http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/index.jsp
and others listed on the eclipse.org plugin home page.
Again, how can help? Can I join the project?
