I'm suddenly having a problem accessing our internal CVS server thorugh eclipse. Any time I try to perform an Update, commit, or view the HEAD in the CVS repository browser, I get an error message:


If I click on the "details button", I see the following:


I can't find any information on this error anywhere. Is there some way I can "re-install" the CVS portion of Eclipse, so I don't have to do a complete re-install?

help!

Hi,
I have the same problem. I noticed it after installing BIRT on top of my existing Eclipse installation (Version: 3.4.1, Build id: M20080911-1700).

Any help?

Kai

Check the Eclipse logs. Also see if there's something in the logs on the CVS server itself.

Of course, if there's been damage to the Eclipse CVS plug-in, you may not be able to do much except wait for someone to fix it. Unless you're brave enough to download the source and try fixing it yourself.

Thanks Tim,
I found a helpful error in the log:
org.eclipse.equinox.security.storage.StorageException: Unable to decrypt master password.

All I did to fix the problem was to open the properties dialog of the CVS Repository Explorer. Eclipse then complained about a missing 'Keyring password' and asked if it should be re-created. I clicked on 'yes' and that was pretty much it.

Cheers,
Kai

The trick did the job also for me. I was asked as well for the CVS repository password which got lost too.
This happened after I logged on my computer with another user, so I guess those above passwords are somehow user-specific - not so surprising but the error condition goes obviously untreated. Would filing a bug somewhere be a topic in your opinion? But where, is it an Eclipse Equinox Security issue, or CVS plugin issue? I'd go the CVS path then see what they answer...
