I just started a new project which has previously been developed in Eclipse. I have not used Eclipse since 2006 and it was for a short non-SVN-controlled project at that time. I have extensive experience with NetBeans and Visual Studio.
The code base is in an SVN repository. I have installed Eclipse (Helios) and TortiseSVN and downloaded the source. I see that there is a .project file and that it contains some eclipse references.
I would like to import the project so that I can edit the files under SVN control. I would then like to either commit the files via the Tortoise client, or more ideally, directly in Eclipse.
I have already reviewed a couple of web sites and questions on this forum, but have not been able to find a how to for this particular use case.

Window -> Preferences -> Team -> SVN -> Default number of log messages. Or you can press the ">|" button to see the complete history.
SVN or Subversion is a software versioning tool. To ensure that everyone has updated code, their changes can be merged using SVN. SVN must be installed on a central server in case of official projects. Apart from this, to use SVN properly you must integrate it with your Eclipse IDE.
Open Eclipse. In the Available Software dialog that opens, carefully type http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x in the Work with: field and press Enter. Case matters, and NO spaces! After several seconds, three checkboxes will appear.
Eclipse is an open-source and free, java-based development platform. It is well known for its excellent plug-ins that allow developers to develop and test code written in different programming languages. Eclipse IDE support built-in integration for Subversion.
You'll first need to install an SVN plugin for Eclipse - check out Subclipse.
The answers to this question document the steps for checking out from an SVN repository.
Note
You'll find the commands for SVN under the Team sub-menu when you right click on your project.
I've had trouble in the past when connecting to SVN repositories using the svn+ssh:// protocol - a quick fix is to change the SVN interface (under Window > Preferences > Team > SVN) to the pure Java option (SVNKit IIRC).
