Using Subversion w/ Eclipse

Another 'saving this link for later' post. IBM has a great article on using Subversion with Eclipse, complete with pictures:

Getting up to speed on Subversion is on my to-do list. This will no doubt come in handy when the tiime comes.

My favorite Subversion client goes to http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/ where the client directly and nicely integrates with Shell. It is light-weight and not bloated at all. Most of the time I use that instead of Subclipse for faster operations.

I use http://www.svn-hosting.com/ for a cheap commercial hosting solution, and SourceForge for my open-sourced projects.

See thats just it. I dont know why anyone would want to leave the IDE to commit and update files. I dont think I ever go to the file system to look at files, so tortoise makes no sense for me.

Glad you found something that works for you thought.

Simeon, I have been using Subclipse since two years ago, but I have switched over to a light-weight IDE a few months ago. You are absolutely correct that there is no need switching over to a different version control client IF:

1. The IDE and the plugin work 100% of the time.
2. The plugin version works as expected.

In the first case, Subclipse crashed on me a few times before, leaving me to do commit by hand because a certain file watcher didn't function properly. In the second case, I had certain functionalities back then that I couldn't achieve with Subclipse.

So I am glad Subclipse works for you 100% of the time, and Tortoise is always a good backdoor for me.
