How to get an SVN client up and running on your machine… and a short Eclipse tutorial

(Damn right I’m logging these hours)

At the END of this tutorial…

• you will know how to write and run Java programs in Eclipse • you will have an SVN client (Subclipse or Tortoise SVN) • you will have the JAtlantik project built on your local machine

This does NOT explain how to do commits or merging. I will save that for a later document.

Purpose: We’re using a version control system for this project because it’s a large body of code that we will all be simultaneously working on. Versioning software preserves a single atomic copy of the project code and resolves conflicts caused by multiple people working on the same code at the same time.

Google project hosting gives us access to a free repository server where we can store our code, update our local copies, and commit changes as we continue to work on it throughout the semester.

Note: You NEED a Google account to access the code! Send me ([e-mail]) your Gmail addresses so that I can add you as project members. If you gave me your address already then you should be able to log in.

This repository uses an open-source version control system called Subversion (SVN). Read about it here if you want: http://subversion.tigris.org/

GETTING AN SVN CLIENT ON YOUR MACHINE

There are TWO ways that I will explain how to do this:

1. By directing you to Google’s Subversion tutorial for Tortoise SVN

2. Step-by-step how to install Eclipse and the Subclipse Subversion Plug-in Step 1: Getting Eclipse on your machine

Step 2: Setting up your workspace

Step 3: Creating and running Java projects

Step 4: Getting the Subclipse SVN Client

Step 5: Checking out JAtlantik
