As far as I remember, in some recent version(s) of Eclipse IDE, I had to separately install a plug-in called 'CVS Integration' in order to do CVS operations such as checkout, update, etc. for projects created from some directories in CVS repositories. But after installing the newest version of Eclipse, '2018-09 (4.9.0)', when searching from the menu Help > Eclipse Market with keyword 'CVS' or 'CVS Integration', such plug-in no longer appear. And existing directories/projects in the Eclipse workspace can no longer be updated, i.e. right click on the CVS folder, there is NO item called 'Team > Update' any more. Any idea what needs to be done to get CVS ability back?
On Eclipse, click on Help -> Install New Software... Click "Eclipse CVS Client" and install the CVS Client components.
Solution. In Eclipse, open the Repositories view, right-click that view, and select New→ Repository Location, opening the Add CVS Repository dialog. Enter the required information, and click OK.
Concurrent Versions System (CVS) is a program that lets a code developer save and retrieve different development versions of source code. It also lets a team of developers share control of different versions of files in a common repository of files.
