KsvVSSplugin
There's a very good plugin for Eclipse which integrates Eclipse with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. It's org.vssplugin developed by Marcus Nylander, unfortunately it's not been updated since 2007. The latest version is 1.6.2 and it was developed for Eclipse 3.2, so it doesn't work with 3.4 and higher. Since I work with a quite unique VSS configuration I desperately needed to modify this plugin but before that I had to make it work on Eclipse 3.4.
The new plugin is first of all an old good org.vssplugin which now works on Eclipse 3.4. However, apart from that it does a bit more – it allows you to map your hierarchical VSS project onto a flat working folder. To turn the feature on you have to check the Flat working folder option in the Share VSS project dialog. If you don’t do that you’ll hardly distinguish the new plugin from the original one.
In order to support immediate mapping of a hierarchical VSS project onto a flat working folder the plugin caches a whole VSS project and keeps track of all your VSS operations to update the cache. Naturally it doesn’t monitor the operations of the other developers so from time to time you will need to update the cache and the plugin will allow you to do that.
The rest of the documentation about the plugin you can find on http://vssplugin.sourceforge.net/
