Subversion is an open source version control system for managing changes to documents, programs, and other information stored as computer files which are part of a software project. Why do we need it at all? So that in a team of developers(or even when you are working independently) when someone messes up, one can easily get back to a previous working version. When using Eclipse as our working environment(the one which I personally use and recommend), the best way is to go for Subclipse, which is an Eclipse Team Provider plug-in providing support for Subversion within the Eclipse ID. The reason for that is the seamless integration of Subclipse into Eclipse through its Update Manager. The following steps may be followed:
- Start your Eclipse IDE.
- Go over to Help->Install New Software
- In the space for “Work with”, copy paste the following:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x - Click on add
- In the space for name, type Subclipse Plugin and press Ok
- If prompted to accept terms and conditions
- Finally restart your eclipse
You should have your Subclipse configured now. Cheers to source control!!
