Eclipse Ganymede and Subversion (Subclipse)

Published on August 28th, 2008 in General

Eclipse Ganymede is the new Eclipse distribution which is supposed to facilitate the dependency-hell problem many eclipse users face. Don’t get me wrong here, it’s fine release with numerous improvements, but they’ve totally failed with integrating a Subversion client like Subclipse or Subversive.

To solve this problem, simply add the following update site for the Subclipse 1.4 branch to your Eclipse Software Updates menu: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x. Once you’ve added it, expand the corresponding entry and select “Subclipse” and one of the adapters (JavaHL or SVNKit). Or if you want to experiment install both, it won’t hurt.

Having installed Subclipse within Ganymede, I can finally start really working on projects. But IMHO, this should have come with Eclipse out of the box.

Shout it out!
