How to install CVS client for Eclipse version 2018-09 (4.9.0)?

Tags:

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?
