CVS connection problem in Eclipse using ext or extssh

[fivepopes]

Hi,

I've been sweating for some time trying to connect to cvs using ext or
extssh from Eclipse (3.1M3) on winxp.

When I try to add a new location (filling out the form properly, I'm
quite convinced), I get the message: "Error validating location "".
Keep location anyway?"

Somehow, it seems that the repository path isn't read. When I try to
add the same connection with pserver, everything works fine.
Any help is greatly appreciatied!

cheers,
thomas

So you are saying you can definitely log in via ssh with the
credentials you specified in the form, and you are definitely
getting a valid shell on the target system that way?

Pserver uses its own authentication with separate credentials.
You don't need a valid system account to be able to access cvs
via pserver.

Yes, I'm sure. I've reported this as a bug to the fine people
developing Eclipse, so hopefully they may look into it.

I have the similar problem when i try to connect to CVS via extssh on Eclipse 3.0.1 for windows xp. The error message is: Authentication error:com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException:Session.connect:java.net.UnknownHostException:
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know. Thanks.

In lack of a solution, I've registeret this problem as a bug in
Eclipse. If you're interested, you can follow this thread at
