Editing Eclipse IDE/Fixing Issues with SVN and Subclipse (section)

=== Method 2 (using the command line) ===
Open a terminal. Move to the Documents directory using <code>cd ~/Documents/</code>

Checkout the subversion repository you want using <code>svn checkout http://svn.csse.rose-hulman.edu/repos/(whatever location your svn repo is located at)</code> (note the use of http:// in the command)

Type in your username and password and a new folder should be in your documents directory. Check using the command <code>ls</code>.

Then go open Eclipse and open your workspace.

Go to <code>File > Import</code> and go to General > Existing Projects into Workspace. In "Select Root Directory", choose the Documents directory where you checked out using SVN. The IDE will search for valid folders with Java files in them. A checked box should show up with the folder you checked out. Uncheck all other folders.

Click Next and open your folder. Note that the SVN commit indicators are inaccurate (the star meaning changed files and the yellow cylinder meaning up-to-date)! You will need to use the terminal to commit your files to SVN also. To refresh the SVN status in Eclipse, commit your work in the terminal then reopen the IDE. The files in the .svn folder in your folder you checked out (located '''in your workspace''' should be changed (which is how Eclipse reads them.) The Subclipse plugin does this automatically.

To commit your work, first add all new files from your local directory so they can be marked as versioned/committed (SVN/general VCS or version control system behavior). <code>cd</code> to your workspace directory and then your project's directory (with specific Java files in it). Then type:

<code>svn add --force * --auto-props --parents --depth infinity -q</code>

Finally, to commit, type:

<code>svn commit -m 'your commit message, eg added a feature'</code>

And you're done.
