We (team of 10) ues Eclipse versions 2.0 - 2.1.3 with CVSNT on a daily basis since about two years without problems. The CVSNT version which proved to be rock-solid for us is 1.11.1.3 build 57h. The only thing you cannot do is use repository prefixes with Eclipse and this version, it will not work properly. Also, 1.11.1.3 build 57h has problems when using impersonation / file permissions in an ActiveDirectory environment. No problem for us, because we don't use ActiveDirectory. I've also tried CVSNT 2.0.14 which seems to be ok without using repository prefixes, but this is no production experience. We'll probably do more in-depth tests soon, because we'd like to use CruiseControl for nightly builds and CruiseControl needs a newer version of CVSNT to work properly. You didn't say which version of CVSNT you are using. CVSNT 2.0.34, the current stable release, has new incompatibilities with Eclipse and I've seen errors like yours in conjunction with this version. One problem is that the server reports filepaths with a capitalized drive letter, which confuses Eclipse if the repository location (in Eclipse) uses a lowercase drive letter. I could get around that problem by using a capitalized drive letter in the Eclipse repository location. Since recently there were a lot of changes regarding filepaths in CVSNT, there may be more incompatibilities than this. Thus the only CVSNT version I can wholeheartedly recommend is 1.11.1.3 build 57h, with the stated restrictions (no repository prefix, no ActiveDirectory, no CruiseControl). Otherwise I'd give 2.0.14 a careful try. I would not attempt to use repository prefixes and fake CVSNT to report itself as being a Unix CVS server. This would deactivate all the Eclipse code dealing with the differences between CVSNT and CVS. But maybe I'm too pessimistic here and these differences are really a thing of the past.
