A few years ago I've installed several SVN plugins for eclipse. At the time I wasn't impressed with their quality. Many were slow, buggy and couldn't cope with any file interactions that didn't go through the plugin. So I went back to just using TortoiseSVN for windows and command line for linux. Now I'm ready to give it another try.
Which Subversion plugins for Eclipse are most popular currently and work well, how do they compare?
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.
#1) Right-click on the project folder in the project explorer, and click on Team -> Share. #2) In the following window, select SVN and click next. #3) The next window will ask you for your SVN repository URL and credentials, enter that and click finish to add and commit.
Synchronize with Repository is something similar to svn status -u , but even more. It will open a Synchronize tab (or perspective) that displays overview of your local (outgoing) modifications versus repository (incoming) modifications.
Subclipse is the most popular, but Subversive is the most usable IMO. Subversive was built to cleanly integrate into the Eclipse team system - something which Subclipse does't do that good. You can follow this link for a discussion of both plugins.
