Getting the Source

The recommended method is to use Buckminster.

If that doesn't work you can get the code with anonymous CVS:

  1. Define a new cvs location: pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/technology
  2. 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.
