CVS, like a good bookkeeping system preserves everything you commit - mistakes and all. People have been known to use brute force to remove stuff from the archives, but it's not something I'd recommend.
In an eclipse project, delete the class files, then commit the emptied directory. This should cause CVS to move the files into the Attic.
One of the reasons why Subversion was invented, by the way, is because there's no honest way in CVS to delete an empty directory.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
