Subversive: Installation
On this page, you find some brief instructions on how to install
an SVN client to your Eclipse: Subversive. Note that these instructions
refer do not refer to a secific version of Eclipse; you might need to look for the right update
site of your version of Eclipse. The instructions are based on the Juno version (4.2) of Eclipse.
Note that on newer versions of Eclipse (Luna or higher), you will be able to install Subversive by just draging the "Install" Icon
from the Subversive Home page to the workspace
of your running version of Eclipse.
In case this does not work, here are the steps for installing the "Subversive SVN Team provider"
and the SVN connectors explicitly:
- The "Subversive SVN Team provider" can be installed from the download site
of your version of Eclipse ("Subvers" as a filter would do). Note that you also
might want to install some of the optional SVN features.
- After installing subversive and restarting Eclipse, the first time you use SVN, an
Install Connectors dialog will pop up. In this dialog, select a version of
the "SVN Kit" which works for SVN version 1.6.x (right now the newest available version
for that is 1.3.8) and finish the installation process.
- It is recommended that you enforce this dialog right after you installed subversive
and restarted it by selecting the SVN Repository Exploring perspective by
"Window -> Open Perspective -> Other... -> SVN Repository Exploring".
