I know that when using Subversion, adding/copying/renaming files must be done via 'svn add' or 'svn copy' etc. In my Eclipse IDE, I use Subclipse to work with subversion. It's easy enough to add text-based files to version control (ie. php/html/js files) - but how do I properly add images to version control using Subclipse?
Thanks, Brian
If it turns out that you can't, just use SVN or (if on Windows) Tortoise to add the files outside of Eclipe, directly from the file system.

After trying to search for some information about "Dynamic change of changelog.txt file with IDE", i found nothing that could help me to find the answer.
Imagine that I've made some changes in numerous files (PHP Environment) using Eclipse PHP or JetBrains PHPStorm 3+, and i want to commit them into svn repository. Is it possible to configure any of these IDEs to dynamically fill changelog.txt file in predefined format with informations (Date, SVN Comment, etc...) ?
Thanks in advance for any info which will point to the answer.
Not aware of any plugins that do this automatically, but you could write a script using command-line svn tools (svn utilities are installed by default on Linux; on Windows you can use CollabNet SVN or similar). You can pull the svn logs and redirect to changelog.txt in a format you desire.
You can also do this in python using pysvn module.
I set up an svn repository, and got it all working. However, whenever I delete a file in eclipse, svn complains about it: Running svn st gives the line:
! filename
which seems to mean, as far as I can tell, that svn wants me to delete it with svn rm filename. However, I have no way to tell eclipse to do this. In addition, I couldn't commit until I had fixed this, which entailed creating the file again, then deleting it with svn rm.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Since you are working with Eclipse and Subversion, I recommend checking out some Eclipse plugins to make your life easier. I tend to use Subclipse, but you can also use Subversive. Having version control integrated into your development environment makes managing your workflow much easier, I think.
Note: This is not about ignoring files or removing them from version control. All files in the project should stay controlled.
Some files are supposed to be changed by individual developers to fit their environment. So while they are in the VCS, I would like eclipse to ignore outgoing changes for them and stop displaying the asterisk/snowflake icon in the bottom left corner of the packages and projects above the files.Is there a way of finetuning eclipse or the VCS plugin like that? I am using subclipse and mercurialEclipse.
Thank you
The common solution to this is to create versioned config template, which includes via some means local configs ignored by VCS.
See How to version control config files pragmatically?, Committing Machine Specific Configuration Files etc.
This solution could be problematic if Eclipse configuration files didn't support includeing other files, as seemingly is the case.
I'm a relatively new programmer and I've never used version control before. I'm working on a Java project in NetBeans and was wondering about some good version control options that are relatively easy to install and use. Not sure if it matters, but I run OSX.
Subversion was an easy solution for my project constraints. The Subversion guide for NetBeans: http://www.netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/subversion.html was especially useful in terms of walking me through both installation and basic use.
On the menu if you go to Tools > Plugins, you can choose to install a plugin for whatever version control you're using. I've got IDE 6.7 installed, and it comes with Subversion SVN, CVS, and Mercurial.
When I setup my NB project as an SVN repository, I did it first outside of NB with the 'svn' command. Once set (it makes .svn folders everywhere) NetBeans automatically detected it and allows me to update/commit/all that stuff.
I'm Working on Mac OS X as well, with Netbeans 6.7 + SVN.
First thing to do is to create a new repository where all your files will be stored. This can be done using a GUI tool such as SVNx or through the command line :
svnadmin create REPOS_PATH
Once this is done, you're ready to import your project to the repository through the Netbeans interface ! If everything is set up in your netbeans, you should be able to right click a non-yet-version-controlled project and choose "Team > Import into SVN repository" or something like that (don't have NB right here to search for the right entry).
After that, if everything is alright, your project will be under the SVN version control. You can then do checkout to retrieve local working copy of the code, commit files, revert, etc...
Hope this helps !
Hello is there a way to use svn command line from eclipse?
Within eclipse in my project browser i can righclick and then click team and than i have something like svn. Not sure which plugin it is. But it doesn't have button's to for example ignore files for uploading. That's why I want to to it command line. And my question is how to do it.
Ok so how can I use it from command line in windows xp?
The plugin you are probably using is Subclipse. It should have an "Add to svn:ignore" option. If not, try updating to the latest versions of Eclipse and Subclipse. In general subclipse should be enough and there is no need for the command line.
For Windows XP I recommend Tortoise SVN. It integrates with the Windows Explorer and offers you a graphical environment for all your needs. I would say that is much more stable than subclipse and very easy to use.
If you do want to use the command line tools, download and install svn-win32 from here. The command line tools could be helpful in merge and copy operations.
I should also point out that none of these methods interfere with each other. You can work with Tortoise SVN or the command line and subclipse won't be affected. All svn clients work by writing and reading from hidden directories called .svn. There is one such directory in every folder under source control. As long as the svn client software is of the same version, an svn client can write to these hidden folders and another one will be able to read from it. A problem could arise if one of the clients is updated to a version that uses a different protocol for writing to the .svn folders. In that case, older clients won't be able to read the information stored there. Upgrading them to the latest version will solve the problem.
Not sure what you're trying to do; sometimes it's better to describe the goal rather than the means you plan to do it.
Have you tried Subeclipse? It lets you use SVN inside Eclipse; it's great.
I'm not sure if you can use it from Eclipse, but nothing stops you from just using it. From cmd / xterm / whatever. It's not going to interfere with Eclipse in anyway, nor will it interfere with Subclipse (which I'm assuming is what you're using).
I'm using subclipse, and in generaly it works pretty well.
However, and I guess this is your problem, the Team Synchronization by default wants to add all files in my projects, not just the ones I add to version control. This is lame and frustrating, and apparently there's no way to turn it off. Screenshots for older versions, however, hints at the possibility of turning the "feature" off. Frustrating!
I'm not personally a fan of Subclipse - it slows the IDE a bit too much for my taste. Here is an alternative approach using External Tools and TortoiseSVN
Create a new External Tool
Call it SVN Commit
Set the Location to \bin\TortoiseProc.exe (mine is C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin\TortoiseProc.exe)
Set the arguments to /command:commit /path:"${selected_resource_loc}"
Open the file / directory you want committed and run the external tool.
Interchange the commit in step four for additional commands. You can also add the specific tools to favorites and have them in a dropdown on the toolbar.
Additional Arguments Here
Not intended to be too presumptuous here, but I think you should look at whether Subversive or Subclipse actually solves problem in a different way than you intended. For instance, it is very much possible to ignore files and directories from being checked in, via Subclipse.
On the other hand, if you really want to hack away via the command prompt from Eclipse, you must install the Target Management project (supported for Eclipse Europa and Ganymede). Once you have that installed, you can launch a remote shell to your local machine and then type away on the command line :).
PS: I haven't used this approach ever; Subversive satisfied all my requirements of a SVN plugin in Eclipse.
