SVN Repository Exploring Perspective for Eclipse missing

Question

I just installed the latest version of Eclipse Mars IDE for Java Developers using the Installer for my 64-bit Windows 10 and I was trying to connect my workspace to a SVN repository but I couldn't find the SVN Repository Exploring Perspective at all. I went from "Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other..." and I couldn't find it there at all. Am I missing something?

Answer 1

This is normal, the SVN perspective is only present when there is a SVN plugin installed for Eclipse. By default, no such plugin is installed.

The two main plugins are Subclipse and Subversive. You can refer to this question for a comparison of the two.
