I recently had to change the ip address for our server which contains our CVS repository. In reality, it was more than just an address change since I migrated the repository to different server but the transition went very smoothly. However, I wast a bit worried when I noticed that a couple of Eclipse projects had code that I failed to check in before I moved the repository and I was not sure how things were going to work.

Fortunately Eclipse handled the change very nice both with open and closed projects. I noticed that I could change the repository’s ip address and the path through the CVS perspective and each repository’s properties window. I was surprised to see how well Eclipse propagated the changes throughout my open projects. I had a coupe of closed projects which were not updated at the same time but I was able to easily make the appropriate changes once I opened the projects.

However, that was on the windows machine I use at work. Tonight, I tried to make the changes on my Powerbook and I found a little obstacle. Once I confirm the fact that I want to change my repository, I get a "progress information window" and the "confirm project sharing changes" just like I had before, however, I am not able to click the ok button to continue with the change.

Check out the following image for an idea on what is going on. The button appears to be selected but I cannot get to it. Any ideas?
