hey
My work has stopped because i cant get my mind off this cool solution…but i cant find any info on using eclipse with a local cvs repository solution.
So, has anyone done this? I tried cygwin with cvs, and i tried cvsnt but i cant get it to work…
would be really cool to have some kind of source code control system… any ideas?
This should be in the “tools” topic. You would probably have got more answers there (because people only read certain topics).
Personally, I would suggest not using CVS in the first place because it has nothing good about it. Try SubVersion instead…
ok i have read about subversion, and it sounds good. Do you use it? Is it possible to use it from within eclipse?
Eclipse only uses CVS natively. There is a Subversion plugin available from Tigris, but I’ve not used it and from the descriptions on the site it sounds a bit fragile.
I have briefly used a subversion plugin for eclipse (I think there are two), it worked fine. the only problem I had was that it did not support accessing the repository if you did not have a password for the repository. That was simple enough to fix.
I was using Subversion 1.1RC2, with the repository on my Mac, and running Eclipse from my Windows machine. It should work fine having both on the same machine.
That’s promising then! I’ll have to give Subversion another try in the near future.
hi
I am using subversion in eclipse now.
First I tried the subclipse plugin for eclipse3 that should have subversion in it. But the plugin didnt work.
Then I tried the subclipse plugin for eclipse2, and it worked in eclipse2, so I tried it in eclipse3 and it worked there too:) but i am running subversion for windows32 on my machine and connect to it because the plugin for eclipse2 doesnt have subversoin in it…
The plugin for eclipse3 should be easy to install with the update function in eclipse3, but it didnt work, im not sure if that version of the plugin has more functions then the plugin for eclipse2.
