Getting the Source
The recommended method is to use Buckminster.
If that doesn't work you can get the code with anonymous CVS:
- Define a new cvs location: pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology
- Checkout all projects from org.eclipse.dash folder into your workspace. Make sure you checkout projects beneath org.eclipse.dash, not the org.eclipse.dash folder itself.
