Netbeans 6.5 Diff Tool - eclipse

I'm very happy of Netbeans 6.5 diff tool, I have to ask some questions about it:
which is its name?
there's an equivalent for eclipse?
is there any standalone version (without netbeans)?
Thank you very much!!
Valerio

Here is some info about the Netbeans diff tool. It is part of the support modules for Netbeans version control. Here is a link to the Netbeans source code for its version control modules.

TortoiseSVN (http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org) includes a visual diff/merge tool (TortoiseMerge) which is very nice. As a bonus, you can diff images, for example the application UI, using TortoiseIDiff. TortoiseSVN integrates Subversion with the (Windows) desktop.

Eclipse Plugin for ClearCase

Installed on my Windows 7 (32-bit) computer is ClearCase Explorer 8.0.1.9 and Eclipse Java IDE 4.7.2 (Oxygen) and JDK 1.8.0_161.
I am looking for suitable plugin so that I can perform check-out / check-in to ClearCase from Eclipse workbench.
I found a plugin on sourceforge but I would prefer something from IBM.
Also I cannot use the newer product ClearTeam Explorer, I must use ClearCase Explorer.
Try using cleartool command line options to checkout or checkin.
it is very simple and got clean response.

You'll need to update your clearcase client to 9.0.0.6/9.0.1.2 or later to use the cte plugins that support that release of eclipse. 8.0.1.x tops out at 4.6.
The plugin mentioned by #Elyahu is last updated in 2013, and may not work with a current eclipse/jvm release.
As I remarked, in any case Eclipse is not an IBM tool, so you can find any suitable plugin you find on the net.
That one is an IBM one, but for lower ClearCase versions, but it might be OK, since its only a plugin, and you only need a check-out <-> check-in ability

Since you have mentioned you have 'ClearCase Explorer 8.0.1.9 ', I assume that you have installed it in your computer/VM/asset.
During installation of Clearcase, there is option you can select to install 'CTEUpdateSite'. If you enable that option, you will see /CTEUpdateSite directory. You can configure it in your eclipse Help--> Install Software, Add a 'Local' location so that those plugins will get installed. Post Installation you will able to do all ClearCase operations from Eclipse IDE itself.

can eclipse C/C++ IDE be used for java too?

I have downloaded .tar.gz install file for C/C++ eclipse IDE.
Can it also be used for java or do I need additional ?
Yes it is, you should install the right plugin - JDT (look at Help->Install new Software)
Base on wiki link:
In computer programming, Eclipse is an integrated development
environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible
plug-in system for customizing the environment.
That means Eclipse is just a platform, and you can install any plugins for eclipse. On Eclipse site, you see some packages such as Eclipse CDT Eclipse JDT ... Because they just want you to have a convenient environment for working: just download and run. You can download any versions, and install enough other plugins and they will works well. Here is some tutorials: official link and another nice link
But my recommendation is:
you don't know how "enough" is (as newbie). So the result will be hard because you don't choose enough packages for supporting your languages. And Eclipse Foundation has made it for you.
You shouldn't use many languages in same Eclipse distribution (although you can switch to other workspace easily). Many languages mean many installed packages, and this will slow down your eclipse so much because eclipse must loads more plugins into memory, loads more projects ... This is my experience. So, each language, each eclipse distribution, each workspace. That's a trick.
And answering directly to your question:YES. You can use that version for programming java, but will need to install JDT (Java Development Toolkit) plugin.
Hope this help :)

How to make Tortoise recognize project checkout originaly using Eclipse Plugin for SVN?

On Windows 7, I have been using Tortoise for Subversion. I am also using Eclipse plugin for Subversion. I am using both of them interchangeably for making commits or updates to the project files. But on another system, I have same setup, Tortoise doesn't recognize the folders/files as SVN which are checked out using Eclipse.
I wonder, how can I fix this?
My experiences with Eclipse Subversion plugins (Subclipse, Subversive) and other clients (command line client, Tortoise, RapidSVN) ranges from "just work" to "destroyed workspaces". One time, a simple svn info on a Eclipse workspace changed all the meta data in a way, that Eclipse lost the project's connection to SVN.
The disk layout format depends on the connector type and its version.
Mabye the best bet is to use JavaHL as the plugin connector because it uses the same native libraries as Tortoise and the command line client.
Currently my personal policy is to use only one kind of SVN client for a workspace.
More or less recently format of SVN working copy has changed. Could it be that Eclipse plugin and TortoiseSVN use different formats? The latest version of TortoiseSVN uses the new format, it may make sense to check this for Eclipse plugin.
Make sure both your Eclipse plugin (are you using Subclipse? Subversive? another plugin?) and TortoiseSVN are based on the same version of Subversion. Any time Subversion release a new veresion (for example, from 1.5 to 1.6, or 1.6 to 1.7) they tend to modify the svn working copy format in such a way it's not recognized by SVN clients based on older versions.
For example, see the 1.6 release notes for more information.

Which open source Source Controls products integrate with Microsoft VB6?

I'm looking to possibly move away from CVS (to maybe SVN).
Anyone know which open source version control systems integrate with the VB6 IDE (automatic checkouts, etc.) ?
SVN will work with VB6. there is a VB6 version of SVN that intergrates with the IDE called SVNVB6.
Let me direct you to: svnvb6.tigris.org
Tortoise SVN attaches to Windows and you can use it with anything including VB6, .NET or just files on your PC.
Visual SVN integrates with Visual Studio, although I don't know about the VB6 IDE:

There are some answers here regarding Subversion and VB6:

how I integrate TortoiseSVN with the netbeans6.8?

how I integrate TortoiseSVN with the netbeans6.8 ?
Its easy to connect between Netbeans and tortoiseSVN. If you are using windows:
You need to install subversion for windows (http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32svn/). After that you must set the path in win environment to include the subversion bin folder.
Install Tortoise client
Open Netbeans, and go to Windows > Versioning > Open the path where you install the subversion. or you can right click on your project folder and choose subversion.
Hope this help even its almost a year thread
TortoiseSVN is a standalone program. NetBeans has its own SVN integration. The two are unrelated, but you can use both of them interchangeably.
http://netbeans.org/kb/docs/ide/subversion.html
http://tortoisesvn.net/
What you need to do is install SVN - a version that is compatible with both Netbeans and Tortoise. Tortoise is built for Subversion 1.6.6 and Netbeans supports who knows what? They claim support for Subversion: 1.4.x, 1.5.x, 1.6.x on their website but if you google it you will see they seem to have a lot of problems with it.
My experience was that any performance gain from IDE integration was offset almost immediately by having to constantly troubleshoot it everytime SVN was upgraded. You will be better off doing your version control at the command line or just via Tortoise (which is lovely - I miss the shell integration now that I am using ubuntu and git).
Not sure you do. Perhaps you integrate NetBeans directly with Subversion? Subversion integration seems to be built in to NetBeans on my installation. TortoiseSVN integrates with Windows Explorer.
