Eclipse and SVN

There are two Subversion plugins for Eclipse, Subclipse and Subversive. I much prefer the latter, Subversive in my experience is closer to the CVS plugin for Eclipse which rocks. Subversive plays well with maven2 multi-projects and allows you to have the parent as a general project side by side to the child Java projects in your workspace. That alone gives it a major head start over Subclipse which fails badly when you try to have the two projects together in the workspace. However, Subversive has had a few issues of late and it has had me screaming blue murder at any software developer. But with calm collection I've found the magic combination of things you need in order to have this plugin work. Update your Mac's SVN installation to the latest version 1.4.4. You can get a binary install from here: http://downloads.open.collab.net/binaries.html Update the Subversive plugin in your Eclipse to the latest version.
