Anyway, the command: cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eclipsexul co -P com.orangevolt.eclipse.xul worked fine for me. If you want to checkout the latest sources (assuming you are a developer assigned to the project) you better do: export CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:ext:developername@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/eclipsexul co -P modulename as sourcefourge indicates. Make sure to replace 'developername' and 'modulename' with valid info. Anonymous access lags your production repository by 5 hours or so.
