The :extssh: method was added to CVS in cvs 1.12.13. The NEWS file says
this:

|  * Thanks to a suggestion from Joseph P. Skudlarek <address@hidden>, an
|    :extssh: has been added as a synonym of the :ext: access method, as a
|    kindness to users of old version of Eclipse.

Basically, it just assumes :ext: and CVS_RSH=ssh exist for the
connection.

That said, I believe the eclipse cvs client is written in Java. I do not
believe it is a very well written client as it tends to stop working
when anything slightly out of what it expects shows up in the
transactions on the wire.
