We used VSS with CFEclipse for a while before moving on to another source control system. Here are the notes from our old install docs, they may be outdated, but this is how we connected to our VSS repository a couple of years ago (I have no idea what version):
The Visual Source Safe plug-in can be found here (http://sourceforge.net/projects/vssplugin/files/vssplugin/Version%201. 6.2/org.vssplugin_1.6.2.zip/download). To install this plug-in, simply extract the content of this zip file into your Eclipse installation’s plugins directory (i.e., "C:\Eclipse\plugins") ; you should now have a new folder named "org.vssplugin_1.6.2" in your plugins directory; restart Eclipse. (Note: You must also install the Visual Source Safe desktop client on your local machine for Eclipse to be able to interact with VSS)
Use the following steps to connect to a VSS repository.
- Open Eclipse to your main Workspace and select "File > New > Project" from the top menu.
- Select "CFEclipse > CFML Project" in the popup window.
- For the project name, put whatever you want, uncheck "use default location", and specify where you want to check out your code. (i.e., "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\yoursite"); do not check "Add project to working sets"
- You should now have a new project with only a ".project" file in it.
- Right click on your project, and select "Team > Share Project".
- Select "VSS Configuration Wizard" from the popup menu.
- Enter your VSS username, password, and VSS Directory (path to your srcsafe.ini file); click "Finish".
- Now you should be able to right click on your project again, select "Team", and have all of your VSS commands available (get latest, check in, check out, synchronize, etc…)
I hope this helps!

But for what it is worth, I have used the plugin with an older version: Eclipse 3.4.x / XP / jvm 1.5+ . I think I may have also used it with 3.5. But I would not swear to that part.
