From the beginning, Eclipse included tight integration with the Concurrent Versions System in order to provide access to change-management capabilities. Now, many projects – notably those run by the Apache Software Foundation – are using a different change-management system: Subversion. This article demonstrates how to add Subversion support to Eclipse and how to perform basic version-control activities from the IDE.
Thank you for posting this.
That both subversion & cvsnt are such a pain to get working on Windows.
The client side is ok but the underlying server is not so easy/clean.
It can be made to work but both don’t work OOTB/after install. If this was there then the adoption of this feature would be much wider.
I don’t know what problems you had, but I had no problems with getting subversion server working out of the box on Windows, then Apache to front it.
Neather I, SVS installed in about 5 steps w/o a problem, CVS by the other hand it wasn’t easy at all.
I grabbed the binaries from the Subversion website and they installed easily into Apache 2 (grabbed from apache.org, naturally). For the client side on Windows, I’m using the Subversion build from Cygwin.
When I used CVS, I was using the Cygwin server via inetd, etc. and it was a bit of a pain to set up; if you Google up “Cygwin CVS” you should find a how-to about setting it up. Similarly, there’s a good sshd how-to for Cygwin out there, too.

Eclipse is when someone makes-up, or uses a new word or abbreviation that overshadows an older one. “IDE” used to be a hard disk controller. “Subversion” is funny.
I’ve joined the fun and made a “DotNet” demo on my operating system that draws a fishing-net like thing with dotted lines.

Anyone knows how to make subversion works with Anjuta ?
did someone try out subversive?
subversice is an other SVN plugin, as subclipse is.
Can someone recommand me one of them?
I would like to use subversion+eclipse, but I don’t know which plugin to use.
I use Eclipse with the Coldfusion plugin (CFEclipse) and the subversion plugin (Subclipse). Works great. I also have the TortoiseSVN client on my Windows box at work. It also works great. Subversion is just the most important piece of software I have today. I put everything in it now, documents, pdf’s, code, etc. Its not just for developers.
While I haven’t tried subversive, I’ve used subclipse for a while now and done all sorts of operations with it and there has never been a single problem. It integrates perfectly with the user interface too. Eclipse has a truly phenomenal plugin system.
it is probably the best svn client there is, currently, as seamless as eclipses excellent cvs integration, and withou the need of binary client libs (thanks to the integrated javasvn lib)
I’m living with subclipse 2 years and have no problem at all. I use Windows and Linux eclipse and both platforms behave the same way without problems.
It also updates regularly, and they’re quiet friendly/helpful towards n00bs on the Subclipse mailing list. 😉
