Hi all you Eclipse affecionados -- both of you.

If you're struggling to get the eclipse workspace to be compatible with 
command line tools, you should look at this:

http://help.eclipse.org/help31/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.user/tasks/task-team-cmdlineclient.htm

Basically, in Window->Preferences->Team->CVS->Ext Connection Method, 
select the second radio button and set the drop down to extssh.

Configure the CVS Repository as:  :ext:user at cvs.ecoinformatics.org:/cvs

Check out the module.

Then on the command line you need to export CVS_RSH=ssh.  All the 
Repository intries are set to ":ext:" in the project so all the normal 
cvs commands (like -n update and diff) work just as expected.
