SVN with eclipse

174 Views Asked by At

I am using SVN in eclipse for a while now and it happened to be, that I have to set up a new machine. After the eclipse install, I'd like to check out my projects from svn. Therefore the question: How does one set up a working SVN plugin for eclipse? I am struggling now for quite some time and have achieved nothing till now. I tried to install subclipse via using http://subclipse.github.io/updates as an 'update site' in the eclipse install software dialog. But after trying to fetch content for about 20 mins, it just states "not a valid update site" and that's it. I tried to look up the URL from the progress view (http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x/content.jar) in my browser and I get a 404 when calling this url. I also tried to install subclipse and subversion from the marketplace. The svn plugin itself (subclipse as well as subversion) does install fine this way. I even get the SVN Explorer View. But the needed connectors do not come with the marketplace install and can not be installed as described in every documentation. Apparently you are supposed to get the necessary connectors within the eclipse GUI with hitting a buttton labeled "Get connectors". But guess what. Ye, this button does not work for me. So how is this supposed to work? Anyone got this running in the last few weeks?
