Several ways to ask this question:
- How can I get eclipse to use my ssh-config?
- How can I get eclipse to use /usr/bin/ssh instead of the internal implementation? (I am not completely sure it does, but it does not read Host-entries in .ssh/config)
This is what I have tried:
- have CVS_ROOT in the environment eclipse starts in (I am asked for username and password, I know this setup works with command-line cvs)
- create a new repository location, with connection-type ext (message: unknown response received from cvs server: )
- same, with extssh (error: cannot locate host, which means that .ssh/config is not being read, I refer to a Host-alias defined there)
- same, but with the dns-name of the server, this time I'm asked for the passphrase for my id_rsa-file, so eclipse seems to be aware of atleast parts of my ssh-setup. The passphrase-dialog is from eclipse, not the usual ssh-agent-dialog.
I am using eclipse 3.4.1 on ubuntu 08.10
I expect you have looked at SSH in the Windows --> Preferences.
I have used ssh with eclipse. IIRC, I needed to add a key into
- Window --> Preferences --> General --> Network Connections --> SSH2.
You can also change the program you use for SSH (e.g. you don't trust the Java implementation of SSH) in
- Window --> Preferences --> Team --> CVS --> Ext Connection Method.
