Description Bill Napier CLA 2003-10-20 14:13:35 EDT 
The dialog box for "Add CVS Repository" when adding a new repository location 
requires the entry of a username in the username field.  In our setup, we 
don't need to provide a username to the client.  It is actually preferable to 
not specify the username, since those settings are stored completly ourside of 
Eclipse.

We accesses our cvs repository using plink with paegent for authentication.  
With this setup, the username is redundant and we would prefer not to enter it.

The Eclipse CVS client already supports locations without usernames but the UI 
doesn't so this may not be a lot of work. However, given that there is a work 
around, this is not high priority.

This bug has not been touched for 2 years. Closing as WONTFIX. Please reopen if 
you feel this is still an important issue.
