We ended up enabling the "checkout -n" and "emulate older version" checkboxes on our cvsnt server. So contrary to what we thought, and what the CVSNT FAQ would seem to say, Eclipse 3.2.1 is NOT compatible out of the box with CVSNT 2.5.04 unless these options are enabled. jfl "Jean-Francois Lamy" <jeanfrancois_lamy at videotron.ca> wrote in message news:efjre9$4h6$1 at paris.nodomain.org... > Problem: we cannot correctly browse the repository structure in the CVS > Repository view of Eclipse 3.2.
