I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup, but I couldn't find any

From what I understand from http://wiki.eclipse.org/EFS#CVS, the CVS
plugin has an EFS implementation which reads from CVS servers. I was
wondering how the implementation deals with the issue of passwords. Is the
password embedded in the URI? If so, is that secure? If not, how does can
an IFileStore ensure that it has the password it needs to return an
appropriate InputStream? Does it display a file prompt to the user? If so,
does this happen at the EFS layer, or at some higher layer before the EFS
is involved? If not, how does it know what password to use?
Thanks for any help and clarifications you can provide.

Oliver,
The CVS/UI plug-in registers an authenticator callback with the CVS/Core
plug-in so that, if a password is required, the user gets prompted when
a connection is attempted.
