Eclipse - CVS Repository view

[Sonny Pondrom]

I am using the help module and keep going around in circles.
I can open the CVS Repository Explorer, but I don't see the anything there.
I am trying to find a place for the server, account name and password.

I don't see any "view" context menu in order to add a CVS repository location.
Do this make sense to someone?

Sonny,
Right click in the big white space. One of the options is to create a new connection. Selecting that gives you a dialog with space for all that connection info.

Right click in the big white space.

I have OS X and can't right click, :roll:
Apparently you have Windows.
My tool bar says :
Excplise File Edit Navigate Search Project Run Window Help

I am looking for "View" but can't find it.

Doh!

OK, under your menubar there is a toolbar. Assuming your toolbar in the perspective is more or less default, you'll have the following groupings:
file operations (new, save, print, etc)
run external tool (maybe)
search (the flashlight)
CVS repository operations **
navigation (back, forward arrows)

The CVS repository items look like
a) a little puzzle piece, with an arrow back and forth to a cylinder.
This is the synchronize button.
b) a little magic wand over a network/node type icon labeled "cvs"
This button starts the new repository location wizard.

Thanks, I got it now. :roll:
In fact there are two ways to get there.
1. Jeanne's right click (holding down the control key)
2. David's icon on the toolbar.

Now I see there are only 3 choices for Connection type

pserver

ext

extssh

The server uses SSH 2 security. I have tried pserver and extssh to no avail.
