It is developed and managed by Subversion core committers. It provides support through a third-party plug-in called Subclipse. It is well known for its excellent plug-ins that allow developers to develop and test code written in different programming languages.Įclipse IDE support built-in integration for Subversion.


I can now finally continue my studies of the tool I was looking into.Eclipse is an open-source and free, java-based development platform.

I won’t need that now that I got a versioning system! I get a question if I want to overwrite my previously created project with the same name and say ok. I pick my previously created repository, click next, mark the trunk and then click finish. I hit F5 to refresh the view and can see that the trunk is now filled with my first version of my project.īut I also have to associate the repository version with Eclipse, so now I right click in the Package Explorer and choose Import -> SVN -> Checkout Projects from SVN. Right clicking on the trunk I can now import my project by importing the folder that contains the. I now have an empty repository that I want to put my project into so I right click on the repository and add a new remote folder that I call trunk. Notice the three forward slashes after “file:”. Instead of writing a http adress in the URL window I now type “file:///C:/subversionRepository/project1″. I right click in the opened view and create a new repository location. After downloading this I restart my Eclipse and go to Window -> Show View ->Other->SVN -> SVN Repositories. Now, in order to make Subversion work in Eclipse I add to my update sites. After this I open up a command window and do the following: In my case I add “C:Program FilesSubversionsvn-win32-1.5.6bin” to the path. To get the commands to work you have to add the bin to your path. I unpack it in “C:Program FilesSubversion”. I end up downloading the latest version of Subversion: After some googling I found my way to where, since I’m on windows, I picked the windows path. This is where I realise that I would like to have a local Subversion repository not only for this, but also for how it would benefit some of my hobby projects. After having tried out some of the more basic possibilities I wanted to go for the finer points and study changes between two versions of code to see what effect my changes made. I’ve been spending some time studying a tool for looking at the structure of code bases.
