Subclipse is the plugin i am using with Eclipse for java development.
A succinct instruction to set it up is as followings:
Preparing Eclipse
- Install the JavaSVN
plugin using the Eclipse Update URL: http://tmate.org/svn/
- Install Subclipse
using the Eclipse Update URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update
- Restart Eclipse
- In the Preferences windows, Team -> SVN pane, ensure that the SVN interface is set to "JavaSVN" or "SVNKit(Pure Java)"
Checking Out a Project
- Open the Subversion (SVN) Perspective
- Add a new SVN repository using the URL https://svn.middleware.georgetown.edu/[REPO_NAME]
- Expand the newly added repository and right click on trunk
- Select "Check Out As Project"
- Switch back to the Java Perspective
