Quick'n'Easy: Eclipse, CVS and Putty

November 11, 2004

In the short but excellent article «gnegg: Eclipse, CVS and putty» you can find a brilliant solution how to get Eclipse connecting to a CVS server via SSH using private/public key authentication. The ingenious thing of this solution is that you can use it in conjunction with Putty and its little indispensable helper tools such as Pageant and Plink.

I really was almost hacked off by trying to connect from within Eclipse to a CVS server over SSH with private/public key authentication. However, then I went to Google (the best search engine ever) and found that excellent post mentioned above.

Hey folks out there, let's concentrate on the essential things now again: coding good stuff for the next generation of software! Cheers!
