Please do not multipost. I am repeating my answer cross-posted to the two
groups to which you independently posted your question in violation of basic
netiquette.

In the first place, WinCVS is a CVS client; you aren't going to have
Eclipse use it. You want Eclipse to use CVS.

You're using the :local: protocol.

My Understanding:
--------------------------

1. Host : Local system name
2. repository Path: Locatin of CVSRoot

For These fields i am not sure:

3. User:
4. Password


Neither of these are needed for a local repository.

5. Connection Type


local (known as ":local:" in CVS terms).

For connection type, it gives following options: pserver, ssh, ext
etc. As these clients [sic] are not running, and my repository is local,
can't i access teh location without these clients running.


Yes, and they aren't "clients", they're "protocols".

Please suggest me for this issue. Also correct me if my understanding
is wrong.


Trying hard to.

Have you considered reading the CVS documentation?
