Install Subversion and Subclipse for Eclipse on Ubuntu

http://dimitar.me/install-subversion-and-subclipse-for-eclipse-on-ubuntu/

(I followed these steps on PigU, HL 20100622)

If you do not have Eclipse installed yet, run:

 sudo apt-get install eclipse

Install Subversion

 sudo apt-get install subversion

Install the Subversion plugin for Eclipse

Get the Java bindings for Subversion:

 sudo apt-get install libsvn-java

Now we are ready to install the plugins in Eclipse.

Open Eclipse.

Go to Help -> Install New Software

Then hit the "Add" button.

Put "Subclipse 1.6.x (Eclipse 3.2+)" under Name and "http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x" under Location:

Add the libraries for Subclipse

The above is for Elclips 3.2+ and Subversion 1.6.x.

If you have different Eclipse or Subversion versions, check this list and substitute accordingly:

Name: Subclipse 1.6.x (Eclipse 3.2+)
URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x

Name: Subclipse 1.4.x (Eclipse 3.2+)
URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x

Name: Subclipse 1.2.x (Eclipse 3.2+)
URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x

Name: Subclipse 1.0.x (Eclipse 3.0/3.1)
URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.0.x

More info about the different versions: http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA

Then hit "OK". You will now be presented with these options:

Subclipse Installation Options

If you are unsure what Subclipse component you will need, you can check all of them. Also, keep in mind that you can always go back to this in the future and install/uninstall any of the components as needed.

Then "Next" and "Finish" on the subsequent screens.

After the plugins are installed, it will prompt you to restart Eclipse. Go ahead and do so.

You are not done yet. You need to fix the JavaHL.

Edit the eclipse.ini file:

 sudo vi /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini

Add the following line under -vmargs:

-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni

Here is what my eclipse.ini file looks like:

 $ cat /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.ini -startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.0.200.v20090520 -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -startup --launcher.library -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m -startup /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar --launcher.library /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.0.200.v20090520 -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=//usr/share/eclipse/dropins -Xms40m -Xmx256m -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=//usr/share/eclipse/dropins

You should be able to use Subversion with Eclipse for your projects at this point.
