SVN plugin setup in IBM RAD8 - Checkout project from SVN

SVN plugin setup in RAD8

 SVN is free open source version control system. SVN manages files, directories and the changes made to them, over the time. This allows users to recover older version of data/files including history details.

To work on SVN files and directories, we have to configure SVN plugins into RAD.
Note: There is no direct support for any third party or open source tool or plugin in Rational Application Developer 7.x or 8.x, that is not shipped or documented with the product
You are advised to backup the <RAD Install dir>\<SDPnnn>\ eclipse.ini file and configuration\ folder before installing any third party plugins. This will assist with recovery if there are problems, short of re-installing RAD. Also, record into which folder the third party plugins/features/artifacts are installed.

 You are advised to start RAD as admin (logged in) user before installing any plugin.



Follow below steps to configure SVN plugin into RAD8.x.



ADD REPOSITORY:

Click on Add button and add below URL.

Eclipse update site URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x





INSTALL Plugin:

Once repository added, type and select name given for repository into “Work with” text box. The list of plugin data will be populated as below screen. Select all of them and click Next button. Follow below screens till Finish button.

Note: If an error shows for mylyn3, uncheck it.




Installation process will start. 





Click on Ok button when warning message pop up.


Restart




SVN Client Check:

Go to: Windows-> Preferences option from menu.
Click on Team->SVN
Make sure SVN interface client is selected as JavaHL.
Close the window.





SVN Repository View:
To open SVN repository in RAD, go to Windows->Show View -> Others. 
Find the SVN folder and click on SVN Repositories.
Or go to Windows -> Open Perspectives -> Others and click on SVN Repository Exploring.



Or you can also open perspective (SVN Repository Exploring).



Configure SVN repository:
Right click on SVN repository and select New-> Repository Location.




Provide SVN branch complete URL path and it will pop up for userId and password.
You can also try SVN path on browser to verify for access.





Once connected successfully you can see all project/files under that branch.






Checkout project from SVN:
To checkout project from SVN directly, go to Enterprise Explorer-> right click -> New -> Other and select Checkout Project from SVN option.


Enjoy your work :)
