Description Mark Leone CLA 2010-07-25 23:17:39 EDT
Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

The web page which provides information on obtaining Nebula source code from the cvs repository (http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/source.php) provides the following source code url: :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.swt.nebula

The implication seems to be that this is the link which should be pasted into the "CVS repositories" view, as explained in the eclipse wiki at http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/CVS_Howto. That is, the path for Nebula source code appears to be cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.swt.nebula.

However, if you paste the above link into the "CVS repositories" view or create a cvs repo location with path set to cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.swt.nebula, theer will be no repository found at that location. The Nebula downloads can rather be obtained using path cvsroot/technology/ and then selecting the Nebula module.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. pate the following URL into the "CVS repositories" view: :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology/org.eclipse.swt.nebula
2. Attempt to access contents in the repository location created.
3. There is no repository at that location.

updated text on the text on the page (http://www.eclipse.org/nebula/source.php) to show the true repository location.
