Hello.
I've very familiar with CVS from the command line. However, I don't
know of a synchronize command. What exactly does Eclipse's synchronize
command do? Is is some special update that doesn't pull down anything
except list of files that would be updated?
Thanks

It compares what you have in your workspace to what's on the CVS server.
You can use it to merge changes that have occurred since you last
updated the code in your workspace.

Essentially, yes. But it is not a single CVS command, but rather a
combination of CVS commands and examination of the local workspace to
assemble a "preview" of incoming and outgoing changes. IMO, the most
powerful CVS tool I've ever used.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Eric,
I agree its powerful. Its just that I'm a little timid about invoking
some what unknown actions on my source control.
Does Eclipse have a function equivalent to running cvs diff on two
different versions of the same file? I know you can compare the file in
your project to other versions, but sometimes I like to review histories
and I use the cvs diff command with two specific versions of the file
specified.

The beauty of Synchronize is that it only queries your repository; no
changes are made unless you explicitly invoke them from the Synchronize
view (e.g., right-click an out-going change and choose Commit).
Even if you didn't believe that, you could create a label or branch and
test it out without fear; or create a dummy project/module in your
repository to play around with. But as I said, that would be totally
unnecessary since Eclipse won't do anything to your repository unless
you tell it to.

Sure. Select the file you're interested in, right-click and choose
Team > Show History. That will open the History view, where you can
select any two versions and compare them with each other via
right-click.
Hope this helps,
Eric
