After upgrading Eclipse to the latest version, 2022-3, I found it seems 'Eclipse CVS Client' plug-in is no longer available in the official software source, which has been the way to install the CVS support for the past several versions. Any idea how to install CVS support going forward?

I extracted the original Eclipse CVS Client plugin from the now empty eclipse.platform.team repository. The Eclipse maintenance team stopped maintaining the plugin and removed it from the Eclipse code base in 2022. The rest of the Eclipse Team sources were moved to Eclipse core.

My git repository is a copy of the eclipse.platform.team repository so it preserves the commits history of the plugins sources.

Update: For recent Eclipse versions see Juraj's answer.

Yes, as announced in September 19, 2021, Eclipse 2021-12 (4.22) was the last release containing CVS support.

Installing the Eclipse CVS Client from the Eclipse 4.22 update site https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.22 might work. Otherwise, you have to build it yourself.

Consider to subscribe to the Eclipse cross-project-issues-dev mailing list to not to miss such things.

I'm using the CVS plugin. CVS is still very useful for versioning of scripts. It still works after in-place upgrade to Eclipse 2022-03. Hope this will be the case with future Eclipse versions.
