We weren't using the repository prefix, though. I just upgraded to 2.0.51 to make use of the new path aliasing. Seems to work fine with WSAD. My guess is that if you (Carl) deleted the repository prefix in the configuration, you wouldn't have trouble with Eclipse. I don't use Eclipse's CVS library to do CVS stuff in my java apps, though. The library that they use with Netbeans (http://javacvs.netbeans.org/library/) seems to work great for this, and it seems pretty stable.
