+
 
+
# Switch to the CVS Perspective: Window > Open Perspective > Others ... and select "CVS Repository Exploring"
+
# Context menu in "CVS Repositories" View, New > Repository Location
+
# Location - Host: dev.eclipse.org  Repository Path:  /cvsroot/tools
+
# Authentication -  User: anonymous (no password required)
+
# Connection - type: pserver 
+
# Click 'Finish'
+
# Open up the resulting /cvsroot/tools tree.. find org.eclipse.cdt-releng/all
+
# On each of the projects under 'all', click context menu > Check Out

*How do I export it so that it can be used with an external Eclipse installation?
+
 
+
: You can either:
+
 
+
: a) Export the CDT feature via File->Export->Plugin Development->Deployable Features.  This will automatically export all the required plugins.
+
 
+
: b) Export all the plugins etc. individually or all at once via File->Export->Plugin Development->Deployable Plugins and Fragments. However, this is more error prone and you're better off doing a).
+
 
+
: c) Use the ANT stuff in org.eclipse.cdt.releng to build CDT the way the nightly build does.
