Eclipse 3.2 and CVS - where and how to get and install CVS?

[ddog]

I'm using Eclipse 3.2 and have to install CVS to run via Eclipse. If
anyone else is using CVS w/Eclipse and knows where to obtain CVS and
instructions to set it up I'd appreciate it. It is very unclear using
Google searches where CVS for Windows/Eclipse actually lives. Thanks
in advance

If Eclipse doesn't come with a custom CVS client, which I thought it did but
I'm not expert about Eclipse, you could either download Cygwin, which includes
a nice command-line cvs client and a whole bunch of UNIX utilities ported to
Windows, or any of a zillion clients that you can google up.

There's a CVS server product called CVSNT. That's all I know about it.

CVS's so-called "Cederqvist manual" is available from:

Unless you somehow installed an extremely stripped down version of
eclipse (and whether that exists or not I dunno) your eclipse install
should have a CVS client installed already. Check Window->Open
Perspective->Other and you should see a perspective called CVS
Repository Exploring. You may also check out from CVS by creating a
new CVS project.

If you don't see any of these... I'd suggest reinstalling eclipse.
