Downloading Eclipse
Download the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (not the 'EE' one). You will be able to expand this installation to work with just about any language but this package is a good start.
Download: Eclipse downloads
There isn't an installer so just create a folder and extract it. I use c:\eclipse.
Adding SVN Support
To enable access to the yakko svn repository, you'll need to install the SVN plugin. This will let you check out code, edit it, and make commits without even leaving the Eclipse IDE. Note: These instructions have only been tested on Windows, and will require the TortoiseSVN app to be installed. To make things easier, you should also install Pageant and configure ssh keys to connect to yakko.
Install Subclipse Add-on
- Open Eclipse
- Click the Help -> Software Updates menu option.
- Go to the "Available Software" tab
- Click "Add Site"
- Paste the url:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
- Click the checkbox next to the url you just added
- Click Install
- Go through the install process (you shouldn't need anything different than the defaults)
- Click Restart Eclipse when it asks
Configure SVN+SSH Support
At this point you must have TortoiseSVN installed.
- Add an environment variable
Name: SVN_SSH Value: C:\\Program Files\\TortoiseSVN\\bin\\TortoisePlink.exe
- Restart Eclipse again
Accessing the SVN
In Eclipse:
- Click Window -> Open Perspective -> Other
- Click "SVN Repository Exploring"
- Right-click the "SVN Repositories" pane and click New -> Repository Location
- Enter this url (using your own username):
svn+ssh://YOURUSERNAME@yakko.cs.wmich.edu:/home/svn/repo
