[Springframework-developer] Re: Anonymous CVS access via Eclipse 3.0M3

[Mark M. <mar...@co...>]

Colin, 

Thank you for the tip. Via the alternate server, I can again access the
repository via eclipse. 

I also installed Tortoise out of curiosity - very nice.

Mark,

Give TortoiseCVS a try as well:
  http://www.tortoisecvs.org/
It is integrated into Windows Explorer, and frankly, while I do use the 
Eclipse CVS integration when I am in Eclipse, I find Tortoise can do 
everything else the rest of the time, and works great.

As for problems with CVS access to SourceForge from Eclipse, I think 
this is due to the different timeout values that various clients have. 
Eclipse seems to have a pretty low timeout, while command-line cvs will 
work in the same circumstances. SF is at fault in any case, but until 
they resolve the situation, what you may try doing is hitting the 
'alternate' servers available via port 80, as described here. I find 
them much more responsive:
