- Initially pulling from CVS into a repo puts HEAVY load on the Eclipse CVS server ... better clone an existing git repo if available (Can be used as a a form of a torrent, it is possible to pull from someone else I know, and sync with eclipse servers, they're all the same repositories after all)

Known open issues are listed here, along with the clone URL for the Git repository containing the project's code. Loading it into Eclipse is as simple as importing the existing projects from the checked-out repository.
