Description bnoice 2006-02-03 17:02:40 UTC

CVS sserver connections used to be supported natively in Netbeans.  That
functionality has disappeared from recent versions (hence the assignment of
DEFECT, as opposed to ENHANCEMENT).  CVS sserver is a very secure protocol that
is in use in a significant number of CVS installations and online CVS hosters
(such as freepository.com).  It should be supported directly by the javacvs library.

Suprisingly, it's the first time I hear about :sserver:. Is not it somehow
workaroundable using :ext: method with proper shell command?

If not then use previous CVS support version.

I was moving from Eclipse to NB, but need to stick with Eclipse
because of this issue.  Secure repositories are a necessity for
our projects.
