Eclipse CVS explorer does not list Tag
Eclipse by default search for existing tags on the file “.project”, so when a CVS TAG is created without including this file it probably will not be listed.
To force it to check another file for TAG versions go to:
“Window > Show View > CVS Respositories > select/add you repository > Versions > Right click on the desired project > Configure Branches and Versions ”
Add to “List of files to be automatically examined when refreshing tags” a file that you think is added to the intended TAG version, like for example the file “web.xml” for java projects.
Thanks to Lucas Rafael de Almeida for the tips.

The following is courtesy of Axel Dietrichkeit showing how to check/list from a remote CVS using command line.
CVS
**************
$ export CVSROOT=’:pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS’
$ cvs login
OR
$ cvs -d :pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS login
$ cvs -d :pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS checkout
Include directory
$ cvs -d :pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS import -m “commentary” xxx V1 V1_0
List
$ cvs -d :pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS rls -l xxx
———————————
Checkout project
$ cvs -d :pserver:user@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS co -r ‘v_tag_version’ project
——————————–
Create a tag (must test/check)
$ cvs -r tag v1_0
Delete a TAG
$ cvs rtag -d <tag> <projeto>
Remove project
$ cvs remove -f <dir>
Lista tags
cvs status -v <dir>
cvs update -P
(removes empty directories, empties are always removes with cvs export)
$ export CVSROOT=:pserver:<user>@<remove_cvs>:/p/CVS
$ cvs -d $CVSROOT rls -l
