Thanks for the reply Tim.
My experiences are slightly different from yours.
I didn't have the problem of losing the connection properties/configuration after closing Eclipse.
I am prompted for my key passphrase when I try to refresh/access the cvs repository. But, when I try to do an commit I am *not* prompted again for the key passphrase but receive the following errors:
The server reported an error while performing the "cvs commit" command. jakarta-jetspeed-2: cvs server: Pre-commit check failed jakarta-jetspeed-2: cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!
No further information is provided with the errors.
So I'm at a loss how to proceed with this. Maybe I should post a question in some eclipse list...

Hi Ate,
I had an issue in getting it to work as well. I'm not sure what fixed it. Anyhow here were my steps outlined below:
1) Window > Preferences > Team > CVS > Extssh Connect Method > Key management Generate DSA Key > Save private key and Export Public Key 2) Click Apply and Closed Pref Dialog 3) Re-opened pref dialog again > Load existing key > Apply again. After that I'm prompted for my key store passphase instead of the minotaur password (during a commit.) Bugger though I just closed and re-opened Eclipse and the setting is back to straight password.
So next I try this:
Disconnect and Rename to "_old" any projects using the connection (or delete if possible) Discard the connection Close and Restart Eclipse Create the connection again Check out a new copy of the project ... run maven eclipse ... etc ... made some file changes ... Closed Eclipse / Reopen (to verify the prompt on commit) Now prompted for id_dsa passphrase on commit.
I'm not sure that helps you. It was buggy and I think the connection properties were cached either in memory or on disk which is why I did the close/reopens and the fresh checkouts to new projects. Anyhow maybe it'll help.

After I upgraded to the latest Eclipse I thought of trying out extssh for connecting to cvs.apache.org (using ssh key pair, *not* my password). This works beautifully for retrieving but fails for committing.
I now resolved back to using a localhost tunnel with Putty which also works great but requires an extra step to set it up. If possible I'd like to use the extssh connection so anymore knows if/how to get this working?
