Adding SVN to Spring Tool Suite, Subclipse extension not available

Question

I have Spring Tool Suite (STS) 3.6.3 installed. On another PC at home I recall being able to add SVN integration into STS by bringing up the Dashboard window, and checking the "Subsclipse" check box on the Extensions tab. However, I don't see this option on my current installation. I am including installed extensions, too, and I do not see Subclipse in the list.

When I select the Project folder in the Project Explorer window, right mouse click → Team → Share Project, I see only CVS and Git as options, but I would like to use SVN.

My experience with all things Java is measured in hours rather than years, so don't assume anything :-)

How do I integrate SVN with STS?

Answer 1

Check once if it's installed properly:

Here is how to add the SVN plugin (Subclipse) to your Spring Tool Suite

Open the Spring Tool Suite and go to the dashboard.
Click on Extensions (It is under the Help and Documentation heading).
Search for Subclipse. Check the checkbox and click Install.

Note: If you do not see Subclipse it implies that it is already installed on your IDE, but you can verify by checking the ‘Show Installed’ beside the search field.
