Setup P2-Repository on own Server for Eclipse Plugins - eclipse

I want to use a P2-Repository to manage Eclipse Plugins. I have a Windows Server 2008 machine. But I have absolutely no idea what I have to do.
What do I have to do on my PC in Eclipse and what on the server to make everything work? Can anyone of you guys help me out?
Thanks in advance!

P2 repository has its own layout and structure.
Use tycho maven plugin to create P2 repository on your server using one of its goal, assemble repository
Hope this helps. If you are not suing tycho, start using it. Life will be easy.

I want to create an Eclipse project of the NaCl cryptographic library. I have installed it using the commands mentioned on the website, but I don't know how should I properly include all those files in my eclipse project so that I can use it to develop my own main function.
Can anyone help me on this? The githut repository is located at Nacl Github and the project installation details are available at Nacl Install
I am completely new to this and hence have no idea. If you need any further information, please tell me.

The project file shouldn't be in your source control.
Take a look on maven, it might help you.

Using Eclipse with HTML5 Boilerplate

I just got my new computer and I'm going to learn an IDE fresh. Everyone suggests Eclipse; therefore, I'll go with that. I downloaded Java EE for I may use it later for java programming also. I don't mind the bloat.
What I want to achieve is that every time I create a new website project that HTML5 Boilerplate also gets created as a template to the project. Anyone know how to achieve this?
Also any additional plugins for web dev or anything to do helpful with web development ideas with eclipse would be most appreciated.
If you are using Java EE eventually, I think the best strategy would be creating a Maven archetype. This way once you have your baseline project definition, you can archetype it and create all your subsequent projects from that.
Apache - Guide to creating archetypes
If you don't have Maven yet, you can get it here.
And the Maven Eclipse plugin can be installed from the update site: http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
Finally, since you are new to Eclipse, you can install plugins from Help > Install New Software. Best of luck! I know that's probably a lot to take in.

Managing external jar dependencies

I'v written a selenium framework which needs to be extended to the team. I've checked in the code in SVN. How can I make sure that external jars are added to build path and folder that folder by other team members? Basically I want to manage these dependencies better. Somebody said, Maven can take care of these so I tried to install m2eclipse plugin for eclipse 3.2 without any success. Can Maven solve this problem and is there any better way of managing it?
Do the easy way: commit the jars into SVN. It will save everybody a lot of time.
If you are amenable to using Eclipse, Maven, and m2eclipse, I would suggest using SpringSource Tool Suite. It is an Eclipse based IDE with Maven and m2eclipse pre-bundled. This bundling makes getting those three tools to work together very easy.

Need to setup Subversion in my local box

I am using Windows7 and I do lot of Java coding in Eclipse. But I dont have a version control system. I have heard of Subversion being a very popular VCS, so I would like to set it in my local box. Can you please give me some pointers on where to start/look at?
I would like to checkin/checkout files using Eclipse. Please guide me.

If you're on windows it's difficult not to go with VisualSVN. As for Eclipse you can get an eclipse plugin here
Subclipse http://subclipse.tigris.org/ is a plugin for eclipse that allows you to checkout / in files inside of the eclipse IDE.
It doesn't get SVN set up on your machine, you'll need to install svn and set up a repository first, but the integration with eclipse is nice to have.
If you're the only person who needs to access the repository, you can create a svn repository on your filesystem and you won't need to install and run a server.

Subclipse is a great SVN plugin for Eclipse, you might also find TortoiseSVN very handy as well. Both are very easy to use.
First, you'll need a Subversion repository, which can either be a remote server on the internet (google "free subversion repository"), or a server running locally on your machine, or a machine on your lan. For the last one, you can use VisualSVN Server.
Once with a SVN repository setup, you have to install a SVN client to work with it. I recommend TortoiseSVN for general stuff, but I'm pretty sure Eclipse has SVN support builtin, so once you've setup a repository server, you just have to configure the client on Eclipse to connect to it.
