No.  Eclipse themselves don't support it - they only support Unx CVS
servers.  As they don't feedback bug reports etc. there's no way
forward there - it risks turning into a buck passing operation and I'm
not really interested in that kind of thing.  Accordingly I'm not
currently giving issues which involve eclipse any priority.

>2. Is there a secure protocol support for Eclipse working with CVSNT ? If so what is it ? 

See the answer to (1).  The only secure protocol that Eclipse supports
is ssh (and then only ssh1 not ssh2).  You could setup a cygwin
openssh server but you're run into issue (1) again.
