Can't find CVS in import options in new Eclipse Mars

I was using Luna and now thinking about an upgrade to Mars.
I can't find the CVS option in Import which was available in Luna by default.

Did they remove it in Mars.?

You can resynchronize using the "synchronize" button. To go back to the Java perspective, just click on "Java" in the top right corner of Eclipse.

The CVS Integration was removed by Eclipse consensus, because of the low usage rate of CVS, which is about 3.7%.

You can reference the URL below:

  • https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=438297
  • https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cross-project-issues-dev/msg10790.html

Also, if you want to install the CVS Integration, you can

  • Click the "Help" at the top of Eclipse Mars.
  • Choose "Eclipse Marketplace" option.
  • Search the CVS Integration in "Find" search box.
  • Finally, click the "Install" under the CVS Integration item.

Then I think you can use the CVS integration feature.
