Richard,
I would *love* to have a Subversion plugin for Eclipse. Please let me
know what you find out.
Right now, I create an Eclipse project source directory that aliases my
physical Subversioned source directory, and give Eclipse an exclusion
file filter of "**/.svn/*" (".svn/*" seems to have worked as well). Now
that TortoiseSVN has shortcut checkboxes to automatically add new files,
Eclipse works great with Subversion. The biggest problem is refactoring:
if I change the name of a class, I have to physically move the file back
to its old name and then do "svn move" to tell Subversion about the move.
I've heard of starts of several Subversion Java wrappers: one makes JNI
calls directly to the native libraries, and I've heard (on this thread)
of one calling the actual executable.
But Subversion is just WebDAV with DeltaV and a little more, right? Why
not just write a Subversion client library in native Java? (I'm sure the
answer is, "It's hard," but it would be really cool nonetheless.)
