[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SCM-132?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=152264#action_152264 ]

Klaus Brunner commented on SCM-132:
-----------------------------------

"extssh" is simply Eclipse's way of saying "ext using ssh as the external rsh".

As far as I understand the Maven SCM code, using "ext" actually defaults to trying an ssh connection anyway: see CvsConnection.connect() and the ExtConnection class which uses a Java ssh library when no rsh is explicitly set. So ext is extssh in fact, unless CVS_RSH is set to point to something else.

What's annoying is that there is apparently no way of setting the password (an SCM url with "ext" doesn't allow adding the password, and it seems it's not retrieved any other way).
