Description Andrew Premdas

When using folder based source control e.g. CVS and Subversion, the CVS 
folders appear in the package view of the application. I'll try and do a 
simple ACSII drawing of this

Assuming your source is in src you get 


+ src
  + CVS                - empty
  + foo.CVS            - empty
  + foo.myPackage      - has content
  + foo.myPackage.CVS  - empty

All the CVS entries should not be present, they should be ignored as they're 
not valid packages. Same applies to .SVN folders if your using subversion. You 
probably should be able to configure eclipse to tell it what files to ignore.

The CVS folders are hidden but there are some known problems. How did you 
populate your workspace from CVS? Did you use an external tool to checkout the 
CVS projects and them import them? This is currently the only known case that 
postentially results in visible CVS folders. Could you provide us with the 
steps you took to get the failure so we can determine if yours differs?

source populated using standalone CVS client (Tortoise CVS) connecting to my 
CVS server which is CVSNT. Platform is Windows XP. Any further questions?

This is a known issue. The work around is to ensure that the CVS plugin is 
loaded before importing a project into Eclipse. You can do this but opening 
the CVS Repositories view or any other CVS view.
