Is there a way in Eclipse to view all recent changes of a project? Like in SVN, you can just go "view log" on a right-click menu of a folder. In CVS/Eclipse, I can only view history on a certain file. I am not able to see what files were changed in the last commit. >.<''

Thank you!

You could do diff based on time. See what changes have been committed during last couple days, for example.

It's rather awkward in Eclipse, but you can go into CVS Repositories view, click "Dates", enter the "from" date, and then navigate to project you want to find changes, choose "Compare With" and choose "to" date. And then you will see changes that happened during that time.
